Despite its independence, the Federal Reserve may quietly want a bear market that takes down a president that loves tweeting about the stock market.

Rotary Hoe Wheels mounted on and in Plow Discs

01/22/2017

On occasion I am asked IF I have something that is not quite as heavy and easier to hang than my first Shaddow Boxed pieces. In an effort to accomodate the requests, I did away with the Shaddow Box and mounted my Rotary Hoe Wheels directly to the front and back of Plow Discs. I have attached single sets of chain links to the backs of the discs so that they can be more easily hung.
I have just begun working on these and am looking forward to creating a variety of these rather unique pieces. I would like to devise a way to "back light" some of them.

Free Standing Pieces

Delivered and installed my "low maintence" ( but darn heavy )Christmas Tree to Borderlands Brewing Co a few days ago. See what you get to do when you are retired :--))
Added the red balls to the exposed ends of the tines to keep people from getting "skewered" by the tree's tines. Not sure why I worry -- everything that grows in Tucson has "spines, thornes, and just about everything else that can draw blood ( say Cactus ).

Thought that I would add a few pictures of recent pieces that I have put together.

This past Sunday, Nov 1st, 2015 was the "bi-annual" Tucson Iron & Metals Recycled/Repurposed Metal Arts Show & Sale.

I had spent most of October in preparation for the show. I had planned to have a large selection to show/sell BUT about mid-month I was asked to provide other pieces for yet another local Art "Gallery" so I got side tracked a bit. This one makes 3 "galleries" in Tucson that have my pieces on display and for sale -- don't know how this all happened ;--))
In the end I was able to fill my display racks before the "Show/Sale" so as is good.
Also during the month of October I was "interviewed" buy the local Tucson Sun Times newspaper for an article about the "Show/Sale" that would appear in the "Living" section of their Sunday edition.
Here is a link to the article ---

Drove 80 miles yesterday to pick up four IH Rotary Hoe wheels !! when I got the home I just randomly stacked then and "saw something" in the stack that led to this picture and I am considering where I might "take" it as it relates to framing/boxing the wheels. It would certainly be HEAVY !!

The first pic is made up of four of the second pic stacked and offset just a little from one another !
