I didn't see that site... I think my problem is I'm having a hard time visualizing what I need to get the socket to attach to the shade and to the conduit securely...

Hi, I tried a search but didn't quite find what I was looking for...though I'm sure I could have missed it...but... I have some gas station style light shades. I have access to a bender and some dies to cut threads... My question, what do I need to look for in a socket and other accessories...

i thought about the saw option as well...

that is probably our second choice... http://www.steelsupplylp.net/decorativeiron/products.php?type=ornamental&view=product&product_id=9-XS-5/8&PHPSESSID=aa51c5e508a11cc49b0b93259058479a here's a picture to the fence...hopefully the link works...

I did try King Metals...didn't have what I was looking for...had the forged steel balls at over $4 a pop...had cast spheres that where either solid or hole all the way through... but I can't cut out a square hole... I know I'm being picky...

Hi, I have a vintage wrought iron fence I've put up. The village wants me to do something for the pointy tops...there's a chance the village might let me slide but for liability reasons (aka stupid drunks walking out of the bar across the street), I should probably top them regardless...

found a site... Anyone have experience with Sikkens? Thanks!

Any recommendations on exterior wood sealers for the cedar shakes I put up? Trying to prolong the greying process a bit... Can't find any good sites for sealers like i did for paints that put SW Duration at the top of the list... Stick with SW? Cabot? Thompsons? Velvit Oil? Thanks! Patrick

you guys are probably right...just want to get below the frost line to prevent heaving and twisting it apart...but there are plenty out there that don't have those deep footings that have survived...

it is big...but it gives me some fudge factor...which I tend to need more than my fair share...

try again? i reset privacy settings on the album...

no inspection...just want it done right...it's not a lot of rock...just one or two in just the wrong spot...I went out and bought a big old steel bar and will dig it out and get the rest of the way by hand... does this link work for a picture...

I'm in south central Wisconsin...near Madison...guys who dug the foundation went down 4+'... These are footings for an iron fence...

there was someone on craiglist in MN selling the shades for $15 a pop...had a bunch...I picked up 3 shades with the intention of making them myself...I can't seem to find them on craigslist now...

So, I rented an auger to dig some 12" wide holes 4' deep...a fairly big auger...hydraulic...tow behind my truck...still light enough to pull around by hand though...only able to get down to 3' before hitting clay and a rock or two in just the wrong spot...really need to get to 4' for the frost...

My Dad did...he's a whiz with the scroll saw...can't wait for it to get a little warmer to have up the brackets in the eves...

been a while since an update from me...waiting for it to warm up again to paint...slowly working on the electrical on the mean time... was able to get garage doors in the day before our first snow fall so I didn't have to shovel out the garage :) also trying to find someone to carve a 4 leaf...

he's more of a power tool rather than carving... builds mostly small furniture from plant stands to children's tables and chairs... he's got a branding thing a ma bob as well as a biscuit jointer, table saw, miter saw, drills, router, clamps up the wazzu... that edge planer looked pretty...

Hi, Any wood workers out there? Looking for a gift idea for my Dad (no not for Christmas)...something that's neat, wouldn't be something most wood workers would have...but still useful...max budget of probably $300... Any ideas? Thanks, Patrick

doesn't have too much hanging for decoration and stuff, though I don't think he'd mind something...want to stay under $100 he likes Ford (currently building an early bronco with a 460) as well as harleys...
