These are 2 of the things that have left the shop this week.
A mailbox cage for a very nice older gal whose poor husband suffered a mental episode due to a nasty side-effect of some cancer medication he was taking, and destroyed their old mailbox!....an easy job. This took 5 hours to fab & get ready to paint.
Mailbox cage with wavy pickets, lizards & Yucca bushes.

This is a ped. gate that we made based upon a pic this guy provided of a candelabra his grandfather made in the 1920's. Back then you had to make every tool you needed to work, so needless to say his abuelo had TALENT. It has a painted finish and due to the screening, sheet panels and the frames to encase each on the backside there were over 20 different parts to paint. We set this one up with a bluetooth smart-deadbolt. This took about 1 week to fab & get ready to paint.
