Coffee table

Big Wave Dave Christensen went to Hawaii and brought back a nice piece of wood. He wanted to use it for a coffee table with an Hawaiian look to it. So I built these two legs and Randy Tucker took  them with him on a trip to Colorado and dropped them off to Dave. Dave painted them and attached them to his piece of wood.  His wife Judy wanted the glass bottom shelf on it. It turned out really nice I think!

Swimming pool fence

Rick and Patrice needed a fence around their new pool so I helped Monte put it together and weld it in place. Al Niell installed the block. Monte learned how to weld when he was a kid in his fathers welding shop and he is the best naturally talented welder I have ever seen. He got me started and set up tig welding aluminum. Thanks, Monte!

Bicycle rack

I had fun creating this bicycle rack for my back porch using some left over steel.

New Crew

I have  two new additions to the crew. They are sisters from different litters. I have lots of great help around the place now! These are probably the best dogs I have ever been around. Half Australian Sheppard and McNab Border collie with Cataholula mix. Amazing!

Bishop's Storehouse , Leeds, Utah

 Trees had pushed these stone walls out of place. Ken Hadley bought the place and is restoring it. I helped him number, remove and then replace the stones in order to straighten the walls

I did everything except level out the top. The budget did not stretch far enough to get that done, but  maybe next time.

 This is all tuck pointed and this is the present condition of the walls and building as of 2015.

Roy Madison and I added these stone steps and covered the cinder block with stone. It gives it a much better feel and look don't you think? Thanks Ken and Patrica for letting us help you on your old house.

Window Sill

I put a window sill in the bishop's storehouse in Leeds, Utah.

Stone Benches

We quarried, shaped, delivered and set 13 stone benches to Bryce Canyon National Park this fall.

Bryce Canyon National Park

We built a new entrance sign for Bryce National Park on the new bicycle path. The little rock column in the foreground is a camera stand. That is Brad Quinn and Roy Madison in the picture.

Bryce Canyon National Park Multi-use pathway

Bryce National Park has a new multi-use pathway or bicycle path and we helped build the stonework on the project, Here is a retaining wall in front of the lodge. We matched the old wall and created an opening for the new pathway.

Roy and Alan Niel rebuilt these old stairs and then I built, painted and installed the handrail at  the   CCC camp in Leeds , Utah.

Decked over aluminum drift boat or white water dory

I saw this boat on Craigslist and noticed it was decked over which is very unusual. I drove to Washington and picked up this 1981 Alumaweld drift boat  then tested it on a Diamond down river trip the next week. Then into the shop she went to get fixed up.  I tore out the old floor. and then welded where it needed so the compartments would be water tight. Then painted the bottom with a silicone based slippery coating. Then painted the hull and applied the vinyl letters. She is, I guess it's a she, is named "Last Chance" after a rapid that was covered by Lake Mead and also a campsite in the grand canyon. Now on to the interior work.
