Latest project finally installed with the client. The small motif was taken from a detail the client found on their fire place in the dining room. They wanted something simple and not too cluttered. We also installed a 5 metre balcony rail of the same design. will try to upload pics later.

This was a project that was commissioned by stockton council to make a feature of the entrance to a wildlife area and also to stop motorbikes from gaining free access. -
This was a project to brighten up some very dull gates that kept the rear alleys of the houses secure. -
-
These gates were commissioned by a couple from a stunning Art nouveau styled house near Hartlepool. The client forund the original design in book and asked me to adapt to fit there drive way. -
Hi Colleen, i will be making some more soon so i will get some photos of them in stages. hope all is well with you. Are you going to the BABA Agm this year.? It is at phil Johnsons forge in Ratho.

The gates were galvanized and sprayed with a high build vinyl paint. about 4 coats i think
-
The original design came from a booklet on style the clients found in the house. I had to adapt it as the original drawing was of a complete cast gate and very over the top in its design and it also needed to fit in with the clients budget so there were some omissions and one or two additions from myself.

Thanks for the comments guys. The colour is one of my favourites i try to get most of my clients to go for this if possible!

Hi there, just fitted this drive gate last week, it seems to have been in the forge for such a long time, what with the workshop move and all.!! anyway all went well with the fitting and no real hiccups. The client is really pleased and has asked me to make railings and pedestrian gate to match.

Having had swine flu for the past 2 weeks i was quite surpised to actually get some work out! But as the clients were getting desparate and starting to shout louder i had to venture into the forge! I still have to punch the holes for the door knobs and paint the letter plate so will add them later. Anyway was glad to actually get into the forge and do something.

yes there is a hole through the middle for the longer forgings and it needs a 7hp motor. I managed to find one that is a 240 volt but i many need to substitute it for a 440volt one.

Finally took delivery of my Hercules hammer on Friday, after months of getting the workshop sorted (in between trying to get work out!) i am so happy to get it into the shop and start the clean up process. Not that it needs too much cleaning as i think it still has its factory paint on it! there is just a thin layer of green moss on the surfacethat comes of real easy, It has been sat in a shed for over twenty years!! and hasn`t had much in the way of hard work whilst it was in use as there is still grease and oil in the caps. cant wait to get it running! It came with loads of tooling mainly for the production of harrows and tines.

These things do tend to happen for a reason. The gods of Blacksmithing must be favouring you right now!
