I'm a carpenter that given a set of blueprints, can build any house or addition you want. But ask me to build something that you build, not even close to that skill level. Lots of respect.

Kinda... but not really.

Brakes, fresh from the oven! View attachment 2569588

Those are nice brakes! I have repurposed some. These are old breaks from our farm that I repurposed into some “folk art.”

Added threaded rod and nuts for eyes and some spark plugs for legs, and you have a crab!

Metal Making Metal . These are some pics taken at the old Bethlehem Steel factory in Bethlehem PA. What an amazing site. We were in awe of the size and complexity of the old factory. From a photography stand point, I was blown away with all the different colors, shapes and textures. Just a few of the over 350 pictures I took on site.

I have more to post but will spread them out over the next few days so I am not doing a total photo bomb all at once.

Whoa. I guess that when you have a steel plant you just build whatever the fuck you need.

Wow! Those are pretty amazing.

I remember going past some of the old Bethlehem Steel works when I was in the National Guard going to drills at 4am and seeing the glowing slag being dumped. Oddly, there are warehouses there now… just off of Route 78. This was still in the early 90s.
