The Early Years

Here's just a few of many projects
that I did years ago when I use to teach
welding at the Excelsior Springs Job Corp Center
back in the mid 80's


We designed and built over 160 Christmas decorations
for the city of Excelsior Springs.
And then 80 more for the city of Claycomo
once they saw what they looked like.


I built a castle out of some scrap metal laying around the shop. It turned out so good that I decided to mount it on a trailer and enter it as a float for the Job Corps in the Gladfest parade


The Center Director got so many remarks and praises from the float
that he asked me to do it again.
So I built a roller coaster and entered it into
the Snake Saturday parade in North Kansas City the following year.
