OK guys the fateful day has arrived.
My photo gallery is up and running.
We worked out a few kinks over the last few days, and besides a few
grammatical errors that I will see too soon, it is working fine.
It appears that you have far too much fun on the job. 
Congrats.
If you have any trouble with it, please email me.

A friend of mine, Mike Slass, gets credit for the gallery.
He wrote a Liniux program that takes a file tree of images and text
files and generates the entire gallery in HTML.
So now you can see the Opera Dragon belch fire

That thing was HUGE!
The endless railing jobs

Do you have a finished photo of the Project 20 gates?
Those are very nice.
I shipped them down to Oakland CA for my friend to install on his house.
I plan on stopping by next time I am down there to take the installed
pictures.
I'll bet the dropping, curving, twisting stairway work in Project
18 was, er, interesting to work out.
That is the Las Vegas rail I was flown in to make on site.
I had 700 lbs of tools shipped in via truck.
It took me 3 days to make it on site.
The scroll sections are from Indital

and and even screen shots of me from "The Postman".

Cool! I'll bet being cast was fun. Did they pay you well for
the work, the rentals on the equipment, and the output from
the work? I hear that the props people pay very well for
special equipment.
I made great money while in construction.
When I moved to Set decoration, and eventually an extra, I was having
lots of fun, but wasn't making much money.
Of course now I will end up with a HUGE bandwidth charge from Earthlink.
Of course. I'd be glad to donate my time helping you set up a Paypal
Donation button on the site if you like. I'm sure it would pay for
itself in no time. Just let me know.
I'll see how my charges rack up.
I get 15 GB per month of traffic from Earthlink.
