Fellini Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi, I visited Italy few weeks ago and I saw this intersting window bar (see attachment). Any idea what is the process step by step for making it. I would appreciate your help. Regards, Fellini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellini Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi, I posted the picture using different format. I hope it works now. Thanks a lot, Fellini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Bars are pierced, ends are tenoned and riveted. Study it for a minute or two and you'll see the construction methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellini Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thank you HWooldridge for the fast respond. Note that the holes are turned 90 deg in each bar so I wounder how they assembled the 4 pieces. Fellini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Any pair of opposing corners is assembled and then you can see that the resulting sub-assemblies will slide together to create the interior grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellini Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yep,it works. so easy...thank you folks. Fellini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 it would have taken me ages to figure that out ! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 It helps to have worked in three dimensional projects for many years but some people just have better puzzle vision than others. I like to work with rope and am a mini-expert on knots, but my wife can barely remember how to tie her horse up! She could more easily take wing than to tie a "Fiador" knot from a diagram! We each learn to get by with what we CAN do though... so ask for help when you need it and help others when you can! This forum has been a great place for exchanging and advancing knowledge! Thank you IFI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWooldridge Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 And another nice thing about this design is that it's very sturdy and would be almost impossible to compromise without a hacksaw or torch; it would be tough to bust with a crow bar.

brian.pierson Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I had it bookmarked because I want to build one of those to use at my shop for the windows in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
