Now comes the fun part....

...seemingly endless amounts of grinding.  Each weld has to be ground and metal-finished so that it will become undetectable once coated.

...and yes, for those who are wondering, my vise is in my flower bed.  I actually prefer to grind outside because it keeps the grit from getting over everything in the shop.  Plus, there is no mess to clean up.  I just noticed that bush really needs trimmed back a bit....

And here they are...all ready for coating...
