No Strip or Sand Stained Dining Chairs

I wanted new dining chairs for my own home to go with our antique Duncan Phyfe style dining table  I restored. Previously we had leather parson's chairs but I have always loved the look of wooden pressback chairs so this is what I chose to replace them with. And I am going to stain them WITHOUT stripping and sanding! I had 2 sets of press back chairs in my stock to paint, now to decide which set. My husband and I did a comfort sitting test and of course visual and went with the slightly larger ones on the left. This set also has 2 captains chairs as a bonus.

Welded Horseshoe Cross


I have always wanted a horseshoe cross at our ranch to celebrate the life of our pets and animals that have passed. Finally my husband created my vision.


I sourced a bucket full of old used horseshoes from a local farrier. This is a big win for us both as his trash is my treasure.


My husband welded the horseshoes into the cross shape we sketched out as step one. Below he is hard at work.

Second step was to use a metal brush wheel on a cordless drill to buff, shine and remove and weld gunk.


My step of the process was # 3; spray paint it.


Multiple coats of black spray paint were applied on all sides front and back.


Then we affixed it to our rail fencing. This was early spring so everything was very dead looking.


But I snapped a few once spring truly arrived.


I am so happy to see it finally come to fruition.


And a few weeks later he whipped up this smaller yard one that he welded long spikes to which allow it to stand in the ground. I love the star pattern in the center too.


What do you think of our projects?
