About a year ago I picked up a welder for the shop. I figured it would be handy to have for the various automotive things that I seem to be doing more of.  Since I got it, it has been pretty handy for automotive related things.  I recently decided to see what I could do that was a little more artistic. We are in need of a trellis in the back yard to support a rose bush that is getting out of hand, so I figured I could whip something up that would work and look decent in the process. As these things tend to do, the project ended up balooning into a much larger undertaking than I had planned. The trellis is going to have 3 main panels and plain posts in the back to support the roof. I have 2 7′ x 3′ panels for the front for the rose to climb, and then the roof panel which is 6′ x 10′. We elected to continue the front panel design over to the roof so it would be visible from the ground. So the roof panel is decorative as well. The design is loosely based on the Frank Lloyd Wright style. Angular and squared panels, without obvious symmetry.
This is the first third of the roof panel. I’ll add more photos here as I progress. For my first major project like this, its coming along nicely.
