Some of y'all might like this. Just playing with the forge and Hossfield to make something a little different.

The color was chosen and applied by a friend of mine in Lavon Texas. Marcus Spence is the owner of Aerofinish and an artist.

What is the application? How is it to be used

It's a headache rack. You know, one of those things you put on a truck bed to keep stuff from coming in the back window.

If you look close you will see five boat light holes. Two each for for brake/tail, two each for back up, and one for cargo.

Thanks. The means a lot coming from a real weldor.

Harv at this point in time I'd gladly trade my welding ability for your creativity!

Harv if you don't mind, I'd like to pick your brain for a minute. I have a gate project coming up for a very good friend, (over 30 years). Can you recommend an automatic gate opener with slave operator? In the past I haven't had much luck with the Mighty Mule types. Do you have an on line source for a commercial grade gate opener? Or at least recommend a brand that will hold up for more than year or two.
Thanks for your time!

Harvey, that'll require a very pretty truck to put that headache rack on.

 

[weldingisfun]

Hope we get to see it mounted. :drool:

 

[jimmyj]

Awesome. Your work is just fabulous.

 

[Redbug]

That's really art work! Harv...you have a real skill and now have a nitch that not many can copy or do. Kind of like the "Tiffany of Iron".

 

[jinman]

Hmmm. . . Can we agree that this might be an entry in the Miller Challenge for 2011? Let's see them claim that this ain't art and utility all in one.:thumbsup:

 

[Heavy Metal Doctor]

Looks great! I wsh I had the artistic mind to think of things like that.

Any pics of the work that went into it? I

If you need low voltage because you don't have electricity at the gate I've had good luck with Patriots and Apollos. But if you can get 110 there the one that I love to install and maintain is Viking Access > R-6 | Residential Swing Gate Operator

 

[Shield Arc]

Thank you very much for the link Harv! Yes he has 120-volts right next to where he wants the gate.
Just waiting on the blue print from his wife, I told him it's no problem to build a gate, but I can't design it for them. :laughing:

Well Harv you have again shown us how talented you are. Good to see you posting again.

[Mounted Madness]

Very impressive. Can't wait to see more of your ideas converted to reality.

That looks fantastic Harvey. I always look forward to seeing what you make next.
