I’m busy exploring all kinds of fun ideas for the drive-in themed mini golf currently on my design desk. One of the concepts we are considering is an old fashioned gas station as the golf clubhouse. As I remember (my first job was pumping gas) back in the 60’s they almost always had a service bay and a tow truck parked out back. The gas station design is well on its way to finish but the tow truck design is already done. This project sure brings back some fond memories!
Wooden style
Yesterday, as quitting time quickly rolled around I got to finish up the welding of the tree base for the Pie Barn sign. Then at last it was time to weld the rolling pin in place and carve in the final woodgrain by hand with an air-powered die grinder. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this task since I did the design some weeks ago. Thankfully, it turned out as amazing as I imagined it when I was drawing. I love it when a plan comes together! The scale of the piece becomes apparent when you see the tape measure on the right side on top of the bracket. We’ll sculpt the tree this coming week and then we’ll turn it over to Becke and Alyssa to work their paint magic on the piece. Stay tuned…
Big changes on Monday
We are very excited about Monday for it is the long awaited day of the ‘lift’ at the Hazelnut Inn. The man lift is sitting ready. The crane truck is scheduled to arrive bright and early. Our plan of action is thought out. The numerous pieces are all lined up and ready to go. Eight major pieces will be set in place on the Inn on Monday including the tallest castle tower and its roof, multiple roof caps, the mast of the ship, some ‘historic’ artifacts and much more. Big visual changes will happen Monday. Stay tuned…
