The Latest BD Sign Is Done and Installed!

The Monday before Thanksgiving last year (meaning 2013 since I haven't posted since November of last year), I installed (with plenty of help) the new BD sign. I'm quite happy with how it turned out… and how it looked in the snow in early December. My legacy of slowly adding my touch to the BD campus continues to grow. I couldn't be prouder.

And on January 10, 2014, I celebrated my 20th anniversary at Black Diamond. Proud of that too! It's been a great couple of decades with my BD family and I look forward to more…

It Was a Clock Tower...

...now it's an ICON Tower (well, arguably it still has two clocks as opposed to the original four, but you get my drift). A few weeks ago I watched the construction crew put up two new BD icons that I had built. The clocks came down and the icons went up. The old clock tower is the tallest structure on the Black Diamond campus. I'm honored to have been asked to tackle this project and very happy with the outcome (and so are the pigeons, apparently...).

 


Above are a couple of shots of the install. The guys did a perfect job.

And a sadly blurry shot of the raw steel icon in my shop before the bolts were welded on and it was sent off for sandblasting and powder coating.
