Today my Grandson Carter helped me make a new paddock for some of my corten steel animals. Now I just need to cut out a corten steel gate to stop the animals escaping. We reused old fence battens from a friends farm, mini posts for rolling pallets onto building sites & thin steel strip offcuts from us cutting garden edge boarders. All theses things would have otherwise ended up in landfill but are now a quirky display in my Garden Art Gallery.

After being away for a few weeks on a cruise it is now back to work & a bit of catch up in preparation of extending my Garden Art Gallery display. Was getting a bit dark tonight to put together the new Corten garden edging area to put new work in & make mowing the big lawn area easier. Amazing how modern phone cameras can take photos in the dark & make it look like early evening with light still in the sky.

When a big bus unexpectedly arrives at my place today, because they had finished there trip to Whangamomona early & someone on the bus says I know where we should visit. I'm happy to be available to help fill in their day & show off my Garden Art Gallery & workshop. This group was from Oakura Probus, a couple on the bus remembered Probus visiting here about 10 years ago, wow my place has changed alot since then.

Today my Abstract Signs Garden Art Gallery was the first stop for this mystery bus trip of residents from Summerset Bell Block. Everyone was absolutely blown away by what we have here & were already making plans to come back & bring others. They then went to Shakee Pear for morning tea, I know this because I then got a text from staff at Shakee Pear Cafe saying the bus that was just at my place was saying how amazing my place was. Pretty cool 😎 .

When ya finally get a couple of spare minutes, so decide to quickly personalize our CNC Plasma cutting machine, the eyes are going to go crazy when the machine is running 🤪 Problem is, now I feel like we should give the machine a personalized name to go with it's funny face. What would you name it, comment below

The Man, The Myth, The Legend. No matter how old you get you still need Dad in his shed to fix, make or Jimmy something up for you. If you're lucky your Dad has taught you to be a legend in your own shed. So thank Dad this Christmas with a sign for his workshop from Abstract Signs

A memory from in the workshop 6 years ago when 2 of our little Grandies always knew where the smoko biscuits were kept. We signwrote their little motorbikes back then too & as you can see from the 2nd photo only taken a few weeks back, the stickers are still looking great. The Grandies on the other hand are a bit big for the bikes now🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. But we still have Animal biscuits in the cupboard!!!

Hart Contracting wasted no time lighting up the Corten Steel Firepit we made for them with their business logo & John Deere logo cut into it. But them when Geoff ordered it at closing time on Friday & joked he would pick it up the next day, we wasted no time in making it so we could call his bluff & make him pick it up that next day. Now that's great customer service.
