A little off topic but here's the chicken coop I built for my new flock today, 5-12-2012. We have enough birds to give us enough eggs for breakfast and baking. Raising the chicks has been a great learning experience for my girls. This makes me a little more self sufficient and I hated giving my money to these large chicken farms considering the way they operate.

I have many pieces on display here in Camden Delaware. Feel free to stop by and check them out. We're across the street from Caesar Rodney High School.

Welder Brian Bachman of Camden, Delaware: Charity Work for Nonprofits

Carrying the Torch

Published April 19, 2012 at 10:38 AM Bachman has donated his time and skills at the Riverview Cemetery mausoleum in Wilmington.

When the Friends of Historic Riverview Cemetery in Wilmington took over the property in 2009, many volunteers came out of the woodwork. Welder Brian Bachman came out of the metalwork.

Bachman, owner of Graydie Welding in Camden, donates his talents to nonprofits and others in need. So when it comes to handling
certain work on the cemetery grounds—like building floor vents and window guards—Bachman is the Friends’ man of steel.

“He repaired some of the iron fence that surrounds the cemetery,” says Friends board president Lee Anderson. “He also did work on the public mausoleum. We paid for materials and Brian did labor, design and building. He had a truck, tools and the willingness to do this as a volunteer.” Bachman was recognized last year as one of the Friends’ key partners.

Along with waiving his hourly rate for nonprofits, Bachman offers to install handicap ramps and railings and repair fire escapes for those in need. He also fabricates garden structures like trellises, arbors and decorative plant stands and donates them to nonprofits to be auctioned for fundraisers.

Bachman admits he started donating his time to publicize his business, but now he simply enjoys doing good things.

“When you’re running a business, if people know you do good things, they cut you some slack,” Bachman says. “I don’t need the business for sure, but I want to do as much as I can.” (graydiewelding.com)

My favorite reference letter:

“Brian Bachman is very dependable, hard-working and a very talented welder. In all my past dealings with Brians participation and workmanship, my expectations were pleasantly surpassed in his helping to bring projects to successful and timely completion. As in all construction and fabrication related work, there are many complexities that occur on a day-to-day basis and I was very impressed with his cooperation and recommendations to the changes required by field conditions. I look forward to working with Brian on many future projects and I'm sure that you will be pleased in working with him as well.”

*If you need a handrail but can't afford one, call me anyway*

I know times are tough and I keep all the handrails I remove. Many of them have another hundred years of life.

My latest project is always my favorite!

This is a firewood bin I made for a customer in Boston.

I added hangars for tools and a shelf at the bottom for newspaper.

last 3 days work 4/11/12----4/13/12

I did this job by myself 80 miles from my house. It took 3 days and I charged $60 per foot.

Heard back from my customer and here's what he had to say.

"Brian the railing looks great!"

" I appreciate the attention to detail!"---Dan

This pipe railing is 1.5" schedule 40 steel pipe.

This is a window well cover I fabricated for a client in Pike Creek Delaware.

This is around 100 pounds and 4 feet wide!

All solid steel, no phony hollow junk here.

If anyone would like a gate like this call me. It wouldn't take long at all.

On 3/3/2012 I dropped off these two pieces, a decorative plant stand and an arbor, both heart shaped, at The Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington Delaware for a fund-raiser the American Heart Association is having tomorrow.
