Viewer Advised! Blood- So I tried to shift a couple sheets of brass standing on edge. They get lively when you put them on a corner like a sheet of plywood. The sheets come down and shaved a hunk of hide off of the front of my shin. I ended up spending two days in the hospital to prevent infection.

Sometimes life is a grind! 36 grit on the belt sander seems to do the trick.

Frame welding. Yeah, I suck at welding but I don't let that stop me. Weld, grind, weld, grind.

It takes teamwork to make the dream work! Getting the family together to lend a hand to get the frame ready for welding.

All of the burs and corrosion are belt sanded off. Gotta keep the vision! The tubular steel is from a scrap yard so it has a bit of surface rust. This is going to be a beautiful painting.

First order of business in creating Dynamic Sunset is to create a mounting surface that safely support approximately 100 lbs of art. 2" tubular steel is cut with an old miter saw and then the burs are ground off with the belt sander.
