    Thanks bud. My sister gets the final say in the color, but I'm thinking a two tone with the wrinkle black and copper would look awesome. I would do the shelves in black wrinkle and the tube in the copper vein, but the whole thing may end up being copper vein.

    Two tone would look incredible on that table, When you first were showing the powder coats I thought you were experimenting for a bumper. Lol, I was questioning the copper, but for a table hell yeah!

    The copper might be a little much for a full bumper, but I do know someone that's going to coat their sliders with it.

    My sister settled on the entire table being done in the copper vein. The order for the powder has been placed and I have someone lined up to sand blast the table for me. Forget wire wheeling when I can have that table blasted for $40. :D

    I'm slowly getting pictures back from family of their christmas gifts in use. I made a key holder for my cousin John, but he decided it should be a tie rack. I'm glad he found a use for it.

    Thanks Scott! Getting the table into the oven was a challenge, but I made it work.

    It looks like I have a new project for her as well. Might have to make her pay for materials on this one though. She wants a free standing coat rack, but doesn't have room for one in the entryway. I'm going to build a traditional coat rack, but cut it in half and mount it to the wall. I'll try to make it look like the rack has sunk halfway into the wall.

    Some of the smallest welds I've ever done. Under 1/8" wide.[​IMG]

    Hopefully going to be ordering my dual battery box and battery the end of this week for install when I'm done with the rear end and all the electrical goes in.

    Working on a new project today. I bought tubing to try the new bender out only to discover that the shop bought pipe and not tube dies. So I had the tube laying around and decided to try out my tubing roller. We'll see how this turns out.
