On this project, my workers built 800 square foot of flagstone patio--up by the house, with some supervision from me. A bit downhill from that, I built this 200 square foot patio....with a couple of artistic touches.

Land art/dry stone sculpture installation. 5' tall sphere integrated into patio and wall, with colorful inlay moving though and connecting all 3.

Amazing detail... (y)

Have to ask though.... is this representative of the "old ball and chain"?...
 
Is that link you, or do you buy the sphere from him and install them?

Whats the structure of the sphere made out of, before the stone goes on?
The link is to my website, and more sphere's that I've built. The structure of the sphere is stone--and ONLY stone. No hidden rods, framework or cement.
 
Finished some window trim this week (waiting until spring to remove the sashes for painting and staining). They’re not perfect but I still felt pretty good about them, bays are tricky to trim, especially with these non standard angles and the frames not being tight together. Apparently I lost the zoomed out photo of the whole bay.

I use biscuits along with 2P-10 and yellow glue. You can get pretty tight joints that way without clamps. 45.00 degree miters are a must.

I've tried a few superglues before, I'm currently using the m12 micro pinner and tb2 and it's working well. I'd still like to try some miter clamps one of these days when I have a little more cash for new toys
 
Enough frick'n holes in this one cabinet !???

Most of our islands are 10 or 11’ long, up to 5’ wide. With the way plumbers run pipe up hitting the island placement and pipes even with 6 people to set is very difficult. Now they can lift the island over the pipes, place/set the island, route wires, drill and place sink bottom.
