I'm going to give this blogging thing a try. I thought it might be fun to have an avenue to show off some of the different projects I've been working on.
To start, this is a brochure that Texas Tech has been using as a promo for incoming students. I just finished up this remodel project with Western Builders. The front entry shown here was completely redone--it used to be just a couple of concrete steps up to the door, and the original building didn't have the side courtyard, ramp, or any landscaping.
The room shown is really the highlight of the project. It's the soldering room where the students actually make their jewelry. There are 14 stations plus an instructor's station, each of which is equipped with a soldering torch, a welding torch, and an exhaust vent. The silver stacks on the front of the building are the exhaust stacks for this room.
I had no idea that Tech's jewelry department was internationally known. Apparently their students are the most sought after jewelry artists in the world... weird that they're in Lubbock. Well, good for them even though their Raiders. They now have the most state of the art jewelry facility in the nation according to Metalsmithing Magazine, the premier jewelry trade magazine of America.

that's super sweet, John. It's fun getting to see what you've been working on.
I think you should also put up your independent projects.
