I knew I would have this conversation with my kids eventually, but I thought it was years away. Silas is only 6 years old, yet today I found myself asking, "Silas, please don't clean your welding projects with the bathroom towels."
I was surprised to find out that Levi was welding today, too, but he is so small that Mark had to hold him up to do the job, so no pictures of Tiny at work.
While the boys & I were in Maine, Mark worked a lot. Besides working at his job, he worked in his shop. Early in the summer, he built a propane forge, shown here on the left (that is Christian Deschenes on the right):
He fired up the forge to create these cool projects:
Snakes!
Fairlead Hook, created by Shutty Classic Marine Hardware, a Division of Shutty Architectural Iron.
A great end table, just the right size for a lamp, book & a glass of wine - exactly what I wanted! Look for more creations in the near future, as Mark has Tuesday nights reserved for "Shop Night".
