My latest project

[Oldmansbike]

I’m making the wife a flower box that looks like the wood box on an old Case steam engine and these are going on the ends of it. My dad was a Case tractor dealer and the wife and I both worked for Case here in Iowa. The eagle was called Old Abe. He has been the symbol for Case tractors since the beginning in the 1800s.

Very nice. Great colors.

Looks great, flower boxes are a great idea, especially after all the cold we've had.

When I first started reading this Dale, I thought "Now here's either a tough bloke or a suicidal one" Like buying my Missus a drill for Mother's Day   After noting that she also worked for the company I did breath a sigh of relief
A beautiful and colourful project mate.

Thanks for the comments. I will post a picture of the flower box when it’s done.

Very nice work.  I spent a lot of hours driving a Case tractor when I was a kid.  A lot of long days in our farms fields - seems like a long time ago.
