One of the houses I worked on in the last few years is featured in this
article http://www.trendsarticles.com/story/...tory_id=201330 I did all the railings inside and out, the awning over the main door, the planters and the master bedroom fireplace. I know I am not listed at the bottom under resoources. I am currently trying to find out why. The publisher is based in New Zealand, and I never knew the article was even coming up. The Architect just handed me the magazine in his office. I am supposed to be in Better Homes and Gardens soon. Their reporter had a long phone chat with me about my company. |

Very nice work on that railing... that sweep is very smooth. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mike Graham | Metalworker, rustic, part-time zealot. | http://www.metalmangler.com| Caledon, Ontario, Canada |

That's some nice work, quality that's of the sort you'd see in a
magazine (if you will...). I think I'll not venture into the issue of you not being mentioned 'cause you know more about it than me (and that sort of thing ticks me off in a big way) but I'd be interested in how it turns out if you're inclined to let us know. John |

Getting credit for your work is a big pet peeve
with me. For me, I have the biggest issue when someone states that "we are building our own home". Sounds impressive and for most would be a massive undertaking. In almost all cases, they mean they are paying someone to build them a home. Most of these types wouldn't know what end of a hammer to hold. I have met people that have actually built their own home, driven every nail, routed wire, electrical, HVAC...ect. To me that is impressive. The meaning of "having a home built" and "building your own home" are significantly different. For some reason they are used interchangably. Having massive amounts of money to come up with a crazy idea and paying someone else to execute is a luxury. To be able to execute the crazy idea is indeed a skill, and one to be proud of.

WOW! I am going to go back and do some more polishing. :-)
How did you join those long sweeps of railing and satisfy an SOB client? -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite. Watch my progress (or lack there of) at: http://www.rutuonline.com Shameless Commercial Division: http://www.spade-anchor-us.com |

The longest sweep required a 20' 6" piece of tube, and the 180 grit finish brushed tube only comes in 20' lengths. So I had to butt weld it on, sand the crap out of it, and then bend it to shape. I use pre-brushed tube for hand rails. It makes life so much easier. Now I have a Flex tubing sander that wraps around the tube as it sands the weld away. I paid $720 for mine. Porter Cable repair has refurbished ones for $358. |
