    Chicken Coup, wow I wish my neighbors would build something that nice!

    Yes, Louisville Colorado allows you to raise Chickens in your yard, but you can't walk a dog off leash. :(

    We bought them all little Nor Westers and installed eye bolts with rope along the walls and up the ramp.

    Had a little time this morning and wanted to come up with a ScanGaugeII mount for the MINI....
    I know it will be a 2-part mount. The clip part that attaches to the body of the scangauge and the bracket part that attaches to the MINI....

    Here is the clip part.....

    Made one of these today....
    It's a reception desk for a local art center...
    The look is sort of "Origami" and is supposed to look like a piece of folded up paper...
    It will be powder coated a light grey...
    Made out of 1/8" thick steel and weights about 250 pounds and is about 8' long...
    We had to manhandle this monster by hand in the press brake.... Uff-da.....

    Human powered water pump... geared to create 900 foot pounds of torque... timing belt by a toothed pulley on the side you can't see...

    Modern interpretation of an ancient method of conveying water...

    Can't disclose too much or I'll get beat up...:smilewinkgrin:

    I really like doing this stuff.... Some of my work is in the U.A.E, China, Israel, Puerto Rico, Canada besides several locations in the US.
