Window Wall with a Sliding Door.
The only steel project for this show was an upstage wall that would end up getting plexiglass for windows and had to be built in pieces to fit through the door. Also featured in the wall is a sliding door on the USL side. Due to the amount of steel work from the previous show La Cage, I tag teamed this project with a carpenter, Tyler Hughes, as he was very passionate about getting more welding experience.
Method: 1x1 16ga Box Tube, cleaned, cut, welded, and grinded down. Unit shipped in multiple pieces in order to fit through a single door.
