Oh the Places You'll Go! All the Stoves you will Paint!

 

        It's summertime in Tok, Alaska and that means painting at Tok Welding, where the renowned Chris Marshall builds the all-time Alaskan favorite Marshall stoves.  Here I am dressed in a painting outfit with my hair covered of course to avoid any stray flicks of paint that might fly that way.  He also builds burner units which are far larger and take a lot longer to paint, not to mention involve balancing on a step ladder at great heights while painting the top areas.  I've been trying to convince him to weld wings onto the wood stove and paint them in the pattern of bumble bees (I'm sure they'll become a hit) but he has yet to do so.  Maybe one day I'll design my own wood stove to go in my little pink cottage I will one day call home and visitors will dance with delight at my bumble bee wood stove, courtesy of Tok Welding.

I think I may have gotten a smidge of paint on my dress.  Can you tell?
