Another job I just got installed today at the local Casino. The restuarant has a low wall around one portion of its seating area and the management was understandably not happy that visitors to the casino used the wall as impromptu seating while waiting or resting from throwing their money away. The engineering department asked me to come up with a neat stylish solution using a pattern from an existing wall decoration at the restuarant.
There are ten plywood panels in total secured by steel posts bolted to the top of the wall, these steel posts are covered by hollow plywood columns which are secured to the steel inside. Sanding on this job was a nightmare with all those little holes but the end result looks very good - client is extremely happy so that makes me happy :)
