Making Giant Tigerlilies

We first made two giant steel tigerlilies as a commission for a client. She wanted a special gift for her mother’s garden. People loved them so much, now we are happy to offer them as a product. Each tigerlily is hand made from our original design, using forging techniques including forging the stamens, and heating and hand hammering each petal. The first pair were painted by our client, but our daughter Trinity is able to airbrush the tigerlilies for a long-lasting and beautifully vibrant paint job.

You can also watch a video of Doug forming the tigerlily petals.

Load Line Boxes

We built 7 boxes to prevent oil spills while truckers are connecting and disconnecting to an oil pipeline at a Peace oil sands facility. It was a rush job, although we’d built the protoype a year ago. The boxes need to stay open even in wind to avoid crushing anyone, and will be heated in winter. Everyone was slammed with the beginning of busy season, so while normally we would have had someone else bend the sheet metal, in order to get the job done on time we ended up building our own 20 ton press brake out of scrap metal farm machinery parts we had kicking around. It made such nice bends we’ll be using it for a lot of projects in the shop in future. These load line boxes will not only prevent damage to the environment from spills but increase safety.

New Nampa Bridge on Hwy 2

The bridge just outside of Nampa, part of highway 2 to Peace River. was removed and replaced with a much larger bridge over the summer and fall of 2014. Hell ‘N’ Back Welding was contracted several times to complete CWB certified structural welding on the bridge, working for Surespan out of Vancouver. A lot of the work was completed from a manbasket dangling over the river below.
