    Always a project or 2 on the go

    You and me both. There is short window to clamp the rails. It's like a speed event when you start. Cannot stop once you start. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

    Always a project or 2 on the go

    We got the block for handrail squared up and sized. Then we mark it so the layers all go back in the same sequence. We started cutting the plies but I had to catch a plane to Vegas for the rodeo. More to come in the next week. Oh and we glued a few more scarfs for the beams.

    restoring 60s Texaco sign pole

    Hi Don, The sign looks great! I noticed you also have a Texaco banjo style sign. Do you have any close up pics of it? I just bought a pole, still looking for the sign. But it has been modified and I have never seen one up close. I am not sure how the sign mounts in? Also it had a light mounted...
