- Yesterday, with the kind help of home owner
Neil Peterson, I finally installed the forged support pillars that I have been working on for the last two months:
Overview of the two supports as seen from the front sidewalk.
Each support is a bundle of forged pipe, a central load bearing support of 2 inch, surrounded by a group of smaller diameter pieces. There are four of 1 inch, plus four of 3/4 inch, the latter drawn out to long tendrils. The bundles are wrapped by tendrils of 3/8 inch round at four places.
I had made an earlier commentary on the design aspects leading to this project :

Looking North to the hop trellis
| Looking South - to the earlier fence extension project.
| The view SE - framing the church across the street.

Looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteDarrell - I'm loving these supports more and more! They are so darned sexy, it's crazy.
