lol Now, you gotta explain what's on the back of that tractor! Looks like a couple of PTOs there, but I'm not seeing how it lifts.
I'm thinking that you must sleep very well at night. You are WAY too busy!

Wife ordered 20 big woks. she has been commissioned to do 20 hanging lights in an upbeat Juniper FL Asian restaurant. They lost the first 20(UPS freight), then found them. So we got 40, 20 for free because of insurance pay out. So I got some to play with to try on a fire pit. The coals of a fire pit darn hot.  Note hammering, heard wok making an art. 30 inch woks  |

You must have some darn magical leprechaun sitting on your shoulder.
ETA: would make awesome covers to my 55 gal barrels of rocks to keep the rain from filling the lids.

You are WAY too busy! That is a $150 boom pole that fits directly to the 3 point lift. Picks up real heavy stuff.  |

Note hammering, heard wok making an art. 30 inch woks Hahaha good score, your sitting on a gold mine if you sell them as art?  There is one born every minute, shit even the entire city council. LMAO The Talus Dome is both a sculpture in the landscape and a mirror to the landscape. Composed of nearly 1,000 hand crafted stainless steel spheres forming an abstract talus shape, the sculpture reflects the sky, weather and the river of cars that pass by it. The marine grade 316L mirror polished stainless steel used is among the highest-grade stainless steel available for architectural scaled applications. It will remain ageless through the cycle of seasons and over many years. At the same time, the surface of Talus Dome will take on different colors with the changing seasons and hours of the day. Its visual quality is not static, and therefore creates a balance between its permanence, and its changeable appearance that suggests the mutability of nature. Sad thing is, Almost 90% of Edmontonian's think this is a the biggest waist of tax dollars (even the staff here) in the history of Edmonton. Biggest kicker is the sculpture is on "rent" to the city, where the city is paying literally thousands of dollars a year for it.  |

It looks neat and clean, and the roll top covers were in my hands so the design. So you are saying to leave cover intact. Remove cover to access gas burner sitting on a light(er) weight support ? I like that. I still prefer a surround for the burner for utility. But it could be much more light weight. Thanks for the ideas oregon. yeah, I'm the wrong crowd - in Oregon I see a cover that wouldn't keep the rain out, but for your clientele, the table for beer/wine glasses is probably a much better investment. So yes, sell them two covers! |

What is the purpose of this "cover"?  Guessing it would get pretty hot with a fire going. How hot? I usually put my beer in a koozie, would it melt on that rim with a fire going? It's attractive, but wonder how safe it would be setting things on such. That rim has to be rather expensive for just making the pit prettier. People are stupid, hope no one ever tries to sit on it! Do you have to have a disclaimer page with each pit sold? |

So yes, sell them two covers! I never ever know what people will request oregon. They usually listen to suggestions though. The table tops have been selling on over half of all pits. Table tops popular and get great reviews. Will let the gas burner incubate in the sales yard for those picking up to look at. Get good marketing dope from the visiting clients. Of which are a varied bunch. Most of them home entertainers regardless of income. But most do the pit with the kids also. |

Do you have to have a disclaimer page with each pit sold? Biggest market is kids. Parents(Dads) wanting to pyro with the kids, but cannot cook the kids... Just about the hottest fire will not get the edge of that table too hot to touch. So kid friendly. But bars have requested the bonnet for the inebriated too. And then there are the coffee drinkers that want to keep their mug warm. Great hand warmer. I have put 64 inch rings on a 36 inch pit giving a much larger 'cool' area. But the bonnet is the bomb for bonfires. Pile sticks 5 feet high and set on fire. a high airflow fire. As they burn in half you just rake the ends into the hole for fast coals. More exciting fire, a singe burner. Yeti makes a stainless koozie that does well at keeping canned beer cold. not sure about bottles. |

Your correct, they should be working for Cadillac. lol Copy and paste. |

Perfect for some parts of the op, not so for fork lifting. The manual push around lift will be the way for a while. |
