Dragons - a pair

It is not often we repeat ourselves. Building more than one of anything isn’t a whole lot of fun. But the North Star fire pit needs two fire-breathing dragons so in the last couple of days I formed and welded up the second piece. It went much faster than the first. With the two dragons on hand, it is time to weld them into the base. Once that is finished along with the water feature we’ll call up the crane to lift these final pieces into the garden. Stay tuned…

Super productive week!

Thanks to a well-organized and hardworking crew it was a super productive week both in the shop and over at the Hazelnut Inn. The waterwheel is now fully welded save for the paddles. Keith spent the day cutting and forming those thirty-two pieces today. Next week we’ll weld them on which will ready the two halves of the waterwheel to be unbolted and taken out into the driveway. We’ll then use a crane to do a test assembly which should be exciting. Stay tuned…
