Double sided fireplace with similar doors on each side. Each door weighs approximately 60 lbs. Installed last week, took out old doors and put both sets in. Install took 2.5 hours. 40" h by 60" w

For some reason my font is stuck on 2 and it is hard to see what the heck I typed. Anybody know how to get it set on a larger size?

Nice, very nice. Love the trees, great detail. That's one item I haven't produced yet, a fire place door/screen. Hopefully some day...

That is REALLY nice! Beautiful details. Thanks for posting.

I quite like your pad

Glenn, you are running firefox on linux just like I am right? Otherwise what I say about fonts might be completely useless---like asking for engine advice and not telling folks if you had a gas engine or a diesel...

For me on the reply panel there is a dropdown menu marked "Sizes" where the tool tip is "Choose a font size". Select the one you want and put your reply between the two bracketed chunks

Beautiful work. Did you do the irons also?

Hi Glenn,
Great job as always. I like the method you used connecting most of the smaller limbs, saves alot of cleanup and gives you a better look.
By the way that shovel looks familiar The one I have of yours has been doing great service at the coal stove this winter.

Thank you for the nice comments. My clients were very pleased with the doors and were more pleased when they had a fire going. The shovel and poker are 1 piece and forge welded to the handle. I used 3/4" square for the shovel and poker.
For the finish I pop the scale with a torch and wire brush. Brass brush highlights and then waxed with linseed oil, turpentine, and wax mixture.
Doc, glad your shovel is working well. Always good to hear how my products are working.

Roughing it after the installation. We picked tangerines off the tree for breakfast and snacks. Can't get much fresher. Cup of joe in the morning. The pool was 92 degrees with city in the background. City lights from the guest house porch.
I could use another commission like this one. The clients loved the fireplace doors.

You dog, your like the secrete agent of blacksmithing, great work!

Hey Danger, eat your heart out.
You are right, I am a dog and I can't repeat what David Browne said about you.

Nice work Glenn- Did you make the FP tool holder as well?

I love clients like that.... let you enjoy the place after you have done the work....

Yes, I made the tools and stand to match the doors. I made the hinges and have bronze bushings in them. The doors swing open with one finger control.

LIFE IS GOOD TO YOU! B)

Well this year my project is in Missiouri, fireplace doors, railings, and more. Should have photos in the spring. I look out the window where I am staying and I can see elk and buffalo. Almost like home.

Glenn,

Very nice work and a fine looking residence.

You are living the dream with travel and good clients.

Merry Christmas,
Peter
