swing set

Hi all, hasn't been a terribly exciting summer for me so far, but just installed my first custom made swing set for my niece and nephew. The colors were picked by them, and the wood swing set seats were carved and wood burned by my folks. The kids names are Riely and Kellen, thus the R and K (and i know, i need to buy new boots).

Jake- Your niece and nephew

Jake-
Your niece and nephew must love this! This is so much nicer than anything any other kid could have. I'm sure they will always remember this and it will become a family heirloom. I like the arch designs for the swings and the ladder for the slide.

Hi Jake

this design is super nice, beautiful Job! Aldought I don't have kids (I have a cat lol), when I take a look at any swing set, I find them to be unsecure and not to sturdy at all. Your looks to be very solid and very sturdy.Perhaps you should start a new line with this! I think kids would be a lot safer on one of those!

Would you tell us more about the paint you've applied on it? I'm asking because I did a few gates and it's always intersting to discover new techniques. When I make make a gate for exemple, I always give the client to have it powder coated, but I quite expensive to have it done. So most of the time they ask me to paint it instead.

I agree with the earlier comments about the sturdyness of the design, and the great vibrant colours.

I can see you getting asked to do sets for a few other families in the neighbourhood.

A beautiful job. I printed out and showed my 6yr. old daughter...Of course she wants one. How did you shape the radius in the uprights? Again, beautiful.
