Bring in the Welders and Broken Toes

NO one can say they've come through their craft, whether it be solely brain power or the body powerhouse unscathed.  Using the trowel all day long, neck craned in an upward position can certainly create havoc with your spine.  My counterpart in Artistic Restoration uses the big guns and occasionally suffers a mishap.  Welding vintage pieces found along the way can be a challenging prospect. The end results have hidden histories way beyond their historic and aesthetic value. Apartment Therapy selected this piece as the pick of the day last fall.
