Posted by SteveB on May 3, 2008, 1:07 pm Please log in for more thread options Yesterday, I finally got ahold of a local artisan who makes fantastic ornamental gates out of a combination of metals, and colors them with heat and different sorts of platings. He said to call him next week and come over and he'd show me a lot of how he does it. I want to get a job there even if it's sweeping. I posted some of these gates at Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/deserttraveler/ Steve -- "...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done."

[I'd > do the same but it's a long way for me to commute. <grin>] I'd wash his dog. I'd do anything within reason. One of my first days in the offshore oilpatch an old hand gave me some good advice. He said if you would listen to the experienced old hands, they would gladly teach you all they knew. But, he said, the first time you acted like you didn't need to learn or already knew it all, they would clam up and not tell you if you were about to touch a 440 v. live wire. Same here. Steve
