    There’s something refreshing about listening to another man/craftsman simply stating that he enjoys working alone. It’s extremely satisfying to know that unless caught, no one can judge you by how many doughnuts you’ve eaten! Beautiful work man!

      Once I noticed his Miller and see him checking his diagonal measurements. Tradesman in action Just one more bit of advice if you're ever grinding a vertical surface grind grinding up never down. Give that dude another doughnut. Keep that metal fab tasty 😋

    This is giving me some ptsd. I did a railing just like this last summer, except instead of being smart and tacking the ends of the mesh to the frame, I drilled a 1/4" hole in the frame for every piece of wire to poke through. Assembled each frame around the mesh, then welded the miters. It was 2x2 mesh too, only 4x too much time would have been nice! Awesome work bro, I also occasionally wear my brown leather crocs in the shop!

    Wowww brotha you do very nice work !!!!!!!!! I started a small company doing the same thing with one of my bestfriends and we were doing very well and I got screwed over in the end turned out he was using our insurance to bit other jobs for another company he started with another guy . So I completely understand why u work alone and I find u do some of the best work when u do it by ur self sooo hats off to yah!!!!!
