Me neither, but I can't open any pictures since I joined, really disappointing 'cause I would like to look at all of the bottle openers and everything else. Oh well.:(

Greetings FF, 

Beautiful design and indeed a chalange . I love the free space and the flow. The pass through style and fasteners are over the top gorgeous . In my shop days I would have loved to have a commission like that but our codes are quite restricting .. Keep up the great work. 

Forge on and make beautiful things

Jim

F.F. I like the look of the railing ! However I have done work in many countries and all seem to require a top rail on or about 1050mm high and may nay allow the passage of a ball 115 (4") or thereabouts to prevent the "capturing":D of children's heads. What's the case your side?

There are slimier laws here. 1.1m is the minimum handrail height, which this is. As for 100mm passage, it is for the the customer to decide, as long as they are aware of the guidelines and the work is not open to public access. As this is private property well away from the public road there is no issue. Most of these codes in Ireland and the UK are actually guidelines that are taken as law by planing officers. It is discretionary to allow them if it is in keeping with the style of the architecture. Otherwise you'd never be able to create reconstruction of original ironwork for say an extension to a 18th century building.

Did you drill and epoxy into the steps??  Beautiful design.  Bet was fun getting all the punch and drifted holes right.

 

Yes epoxy was the best way to go with this project. The steps are made of unstable material, not stone, so I knew epoxy would help stabilize any problem areas. The punching and drifting weren't the problem with this. It was getting everything to flow that took the time. You cant really see in the photos but none of the steps are the same height or depth. So none of the arcs are repeats, they each had to be different so as to create the illusion of formality.
