Tom was asked to create a

table and chair for the garden show.

After some consideration,

Tom decided to make a very different

kind of table and chair.

 

Finished chair frame

 

Ta Da!
TOM'S TIKI LOUNGER
The chair is 'tacked' with small welds
and is now ready for final welding along all of the seams.
 

Tom says there were 50+ feet of welds on this chair...

(moving 7 1/2 feet of 1/8 inch steel plate into position for grinding)

...AND 50+ feet of welds to grind.

 Wouldn't this look great on the 

riverside deck

at

PSYCHO SUSIE'S in Minneapolis?

Fiona and her mother Martha 

 

Fione, who turned 3 this week,

 is demonstrating

her version of TIKI LOUNGER and his red tongue.

 

The solar-powered torches light up at night

to help me find mice in the gardens.

Oh, and I think that red cushion will be a great place

for an afternoon nap.

Yours truly,
