Hello, I'm Matt Schnell master builder/creator/designer of anything and everything. I have people asking and wondering what I am working on all the time, so I started this blog to share with all of you, my latest creations.
So since christmas I have been working on a sauna for the backyard. Its getting closer to complete and I finally got around to getting some photos of it posted. Old tin from a barn, Hundreds of log slices and lots of cedar. I’ll be starting the door soon, then it should be ready to move out and heat up!
Here is one im just finishing up for Stanley’s in Minneapolis & Schell’s Beer. The Stanley’s part is hammered and polished copper. The keg end was cut off a Schell’s Beer Keg and Marked By Imagination printed the logo on Metal for me, that I rivited to the Keg.
Some more hand painted signs For the New St. Cloud Cowboy Jacks
Here is a sculpture that I did for a holiday present. I made the reeds from steel, ducks from copper and the base if from a re-claimed barn beam.
I’m working on 2 more Cowboy Bikes for the New St. Cloud Cowboy Jacks. One of the bikes just looks pretty but the other one runs great, I’ll take a video cruising around once its complete, if I can beat the snowfall!
The design for this sign started about 4 months ago. Finally installed today with John’s help. Now the rusting will start, should take about a month to rust and turn bright orange. There will also be a cool rock pile around the base of the sign that we will start in the coming weeks. This one is far the biggest and heaviest yet!
This sign was made and install for a display area for Process Displays.
For the last few months I have been working on redesigning the GMI offices. Things are finally starting to be installed. The furniture was build by Kellen Construction. The back wall is brushed metal to match the laser cut bruised metal on the front of the desk.
I got to help Troy make these for the MN Renn Fest this year.
Finished 2 branding irons and need to test them out on some meat.
