Another couple of my spurious welding projects. I d a word with a farmer friend recently about borrowing some land to set up a shooting range. I’m now l lucky to have a brilliant spot maybe 2-3 minutes walk from home. She asked me I d mind showing her son how to shoot - hell yes! So looking at fun things for a twelve year old boy to shoot, I figured a gong might be fun as well as targets. I bought a hardox steel gong but made the frame out of 16mm (5/8??) rebar - I made it collapsible so I can throw it in the back of the truck. Also, a while back, a good friend of mine sent me a picture, and asked me if I could make something similar for her girls. She has two young daughters with very strong faith, and they are both just about as devoted to their horses as they are to their their faith. I really love these two girls, and it must show… as a terrible welder, doing anything that is ‘fine work’ is incredibly difficult- it’s taken me loads of attempts to get anything near what I want….hopefully I’ll get it even better soon - it’s a fun, but challenging project for a beginner.
Beautiful...!
Life is good... :0)
