sculpture progress

A wainwright original now an artifact on the wall.

The new:
Machined stainless hubs with included angle for spokes, and welded to rolled 1" stainless tube "tire." hubs get special end caps with welded shaft collars.

Personal Projects

This tank received a lot of love, cutting out the old channel, new fuel tap and filling hole, dents erased and profile narrowed.





Recent Work

I built something small and something big.

These are special brackets to mount the windmill speed control to the outside of the tower. A hydraulic motor that couples to the windmill bearing shaft slows the rotation by resistance of the hydraulic fluid.


This tower is 26 ft tall, welded construction, ready to be hot-dipped galvanized.
