December 26, 201015 yr While letting Christmas dinner settle in I ran across this 6 part series about ornamental iron work. Here's a link into the series. It includes rebuilding a Yellin Gate in 1987 ... perhaps you have not seen it yet. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
December 26, 201015 yr very nice, I've seen this. Unfortunately they're using mild steel, so one of the parts came out differently from the original, because mild steel doesn't split as well as wrought. Excellent work, though, I've always wanted to make a gate
December 27, 201015 yr Dang. A star studded cast! In no. 4 a guy quenches his forged welded fleur-de-lis as the final step. I was always taught not to quench a forge weld. Does anyone know the reasoning behind quenching it?
