Metal Shop on Madison

Depending on who you ask and who else is around, I am considered a poser who doesn’t know much.

I got lucky and these helmets turned out powder coated ok I guess. 😃

Today’s hard time made easier by the makers of Kroil!

Have you ever been in the shop wanting to give a big middle finger to two broken bolts in cast steel? Well I have. Hahaha

It’s a good thing I’m built for this, right? Right?

PS Kano Labrotories, if you want to sponsor my little metal shop, I would gladly take two cans a week for life (or $100,000.) I love your stuff!!!!

Some days I get to make cool stuff from scratch. These hinges will be going on a tractor ROPS setup. #

killer designs is at it again. These two pieces were made for the charity auction that is happening at the Pumpkin Run Today at 1pm in Owensville Ohio.

There are tons of really great pieces from several different folks. Why don’t you come out and bid for a good cause?

I’ll be setup this weekend at the pumpkin run! If you are in the area and want to stop by and say “Hi”, I would love that!

If you want to talk about a custom sign, metal brackets, vintage coolers, or my favorite pre-war fords, stop by. I’ll be located in the pavilion with killer designs pinstriping! You know it’s a good time watching Darin work!
