A few projects by Shawn

Recently my husband, Shawn, was laid off of work...again, so this time he decided enough is enough and has started is own company doing property maintenance. This business has taken off, mostly with the landscaping, but a few other jobs have come out of it too.

My husband is quite the welder. Making side gates, pool fences, hitch covers, and so much more. Here are a couple of his most recent projects. 

The first is a planter that goes around a tree...fill with dirt and plant your favorite flowers. The lady who ordered this likes coyotes, so as Shawn and I were brainstorming some ideas, we thought it would be neat to paint the silhouettes with glow in the dark paint. 

Shawn hand cut out all of the designs that you see here.

The next project was a shoot glass holder for another customer.
These are the pieces he started with.
This is the actual piece that will hold the shoot glass that he coiled up.
Finished project...
I LOVED this one so much that I thought it could even be a votive holder....so guess what project is next on his list...wink, wink....
Shawn has quite the creative mind when it comes to metal and a welder. I'm so proud of him!!
