A joust!

Laughter is a common occurrence in our shop as we like to play a whole lot - as long as it is done in a safe manner. I spent a few hours this afternoon, fabricating a sword for a photo op (sword in the stone feature for the Secret Garden mini golf). When I was finished, we of course had to take a selfie. Keith offered to be a victim and hammed it up to the max. We stopped short of dumping some red paint on his coveralls but the cut off end of the sword looks pretty convincing up against his chest nonetheless. Once the selfie was taken we revived Keith and went back to work. The sword is now welded firmly in place into the giant rock armature. Everyone in the future will have to make do with trying their best to pull the sword from the stone.
