These are some process shot of a small grill i built as a prototype for a larger project. I find it more productive to work out all the kinks in a sample piece before I start the actual commission. Then I have another piece for the showroom as well. -
So I am installing a short railing approximately five feet long onto a set of church altar steps (to be used by the elderly priests who have trouble walking up and down them) the dilemma I am having is about deciding which anchors to use as the top face of the floor is marble and supposedly the underside is concrete but no one is really sure and I have a limited time to install the railings. If anyone has any ideas about what anchor to use or could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks. Robert Burns

Hi everyone i've been wanting for the last few years to start a little furniture making project, and at long last i've got all the materials and most of the tools and knowhow needed for it. Unfortunately however, i'm having a little trouble with one detail in particular since i've got almost no experience in cold chiselling thick iron or steel, and the chest i'd like to make would probably feature a lot of it. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any hand tools aside from cold chisels that could allow me to produce this kind of pierced work with roughly 1.5-2mm thick corten/weathering steel? '> http://www4.ocn.ne.jp/~s-mingei/cyoubako2.html Or, alternatively, if there's no other way aside from cold chiseling it, can anyone give me some pointers on the types i should look into getting before starting or any other useful tips? For anyone curious about the chests in the links, they're mid 1850's to 1900's traditional japanese safes, used by merchants but generally called ships chests, funa dansu or funa tansu, the first would sell for about $5000-$6000 and the second's closer to the 10-16k mark
