Hi all, the Rose Garden Fence that i finished a few months ago finally got installed and the new garden was dedicated last week. There were supposed to be two more panels on each side, but I guess they ended in weird spots in relation to the paths within the gardens so they put them on the other side of the garden. Although the rail was built to be viewed from the street, I think even the view from the back creates a nice silhouette.

Hi All, I finished one of the two decorative rose garden panels yesterday. Should finish the other one and the posts this weekend then off to the powder coaters. They go with 10 more non decorated panels and are for the new Lincoln city rose garden here. The panels are 5'H x 7'L and weigh about 500lbs(275lbs for the non-decorated ones). This is the biggest project I've worked on and I am happy to on the final stretch. It should also provide me with a lot of exposure which I am excited about.

Hi all, I want to make a texturing tool to fit in the hardy hole of my anvil and don't know what kind of steel to use. I'll be hammering 1"x1/2" solid bar stock hot. Do I need tool steel? If so, can you harden tool steel at home with no special equipment? I just talked to a machinist and he said I would need a special kiln and all. Can I get already hardened tool steel and just weld it to a 1" sqr post? I didn't realize that trying to make such a "simple" tool would be so difficult. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
