Thanks for all the great comments; I'm liking this one too; I think he may be moving to the gallery soon, though...

vangogh_sister----yep, welding required: you should definately give it a try; it's lots of fun. And, if you have a husband/boyfriend: he will love all the tools that go with!

Thanks for all the comments!!
posted: 10:39 am on October 26thmonakent--Yep; it's been awhile since I posted: have been taking care of familiy stuff since spring; just now getting back into work/biz.
oldnews---this type of saw blade really never is sharp; the very outer edge has a line of diamond dust coating that cuts through the concrete. All I had to do was clean it up with a wire brush :)
RustyDiva---I got the spring at Pacific Recycling; they have them quite often in different sizes. All train cars have them; they are like the shocks/struts on your car :)
Will post more projects soon...
