Horsing around

Another workday and much more creative magic happened in the shop. The biggest current piece, the horse and wagon recieved it's wheels and the last of it's colors today.

By the end of the day it was done. It will be allowed to cure through the weekend and then on Monday will gallop out of the shop to make room for more.

In the welding department the giant frame for the entrance was begun in earnest today. The gate is quite large but still has a people friendly scale.

Contrary to public opinion we do know how to use tape measures, levels and squares and all are used to make sure the framework is perfect in order for the gates to operate smoothly and line up perfectly.

Now that the framework is done we'll put the precision tools away and go back to having fun.
