Making a replica of the Black Bear Pass summit sign


If you’re interested in one of the two remaining signs, they are listed here until they are sold. I will not be making any more of these: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1119881583/limited-edition-black-bear-pass-summit

I wanted to make something special as a memento of my trip to Ouray, Colorado this year. I made a replica of the summit marker on Black Bear Pass.

Ouray, CO – Imogene Pass


I took my Jeep, along with some friends, from Ohio to Ouray, Colorado to explore the mountain passes and some abandoned gold and silver mines from the late 1800s. In this video, we leave the town of Telluride up and over Imogene Pass back to Ouray.

Park Bench Rebuild


My next door neighbor was going to throw an old worn out park bench away. One of the cast steel sides was broken and would need welding. I grabbed it and decided to give it some new life. I welded up the broken pieces, replaced the wood slats and hardware. I intend to give this back to him. His mother is 95 years old and perhaps she would like to sit in it out in the back yard.
