Wow I really like the designs and your skill is enviable. I think the truss steel and glass table or the first conference table of aluminum, wood and glass are my favorite.

all badass!

I'd love to do a corrugated fence at my house with thick wood posts, but it would get hit with graffiti too quickly and often.

Why is it your "former" career?

I went back to school & am moving in a different direction, profession-wise. I still do it on a scaled-back basis when time allows, but would like to pick up the pace again as a part-time thing at some point in the future.

Wow. Insane skill sir. Are you a trained craftsman, or did you study Industrial Design?

No, biology major & taught physics & calc at a private school in Denver for a couple of years. Just picked up a welder one day to try my hand and everything went from there.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

one solution i've heard of to grafitti-proof fencing etc is to paint it the colour of your choice (or leave it in natural finish) then get clear bathroom silicon from the hardware shop, put loads on a rag and then wipe it all over the fence, if you cover the whole thing with a thin 'smear' of silicon, not only will it protect the finish/paint underneath, any paint that is applied over the silicon will bead up and not set or just run straight off

oh and some beautiful furniture up there too and a cool looking weimeraner
