FieryFurnace Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Very nice! Collars look great as well as the entire center piece! Just really neat looking! What is the finish going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Sculpture Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Great work Rory, I really like how you captured the arrows with the collars. Very interested to see how you incorporate the latch and hinges... I have used my ironworker with a similar die to make collars, looks like you can knock em out pretty quick on the hammer as well.

Tubbe Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Stunning work! Your "round top" collar stock looks so smooth as if it was mill rolled. Is that the case or do you make it yourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Brooks Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 As for the latches, we have a plate with 1/2" x 1 coming out and a hole for a drop pin. Im planning on making a jig to hold the mounts and mount that to the door, remove the jig and hand one side of the grill. Swing it over to the other side and fit it to compensate for any slagging from the weight. Yeah we ordered the stock. I believe its called a 1/4 round...Ill have to double check that. Some update and misc pics Making the center collar For the most part the grill is done. We did a mop n glow finish and applied it similar to wax. The collar got a faux bronze finish Before I was able to do the collar finish, the client asked for a progress picture of the grill. Impromptu as is was I grabbed some carpets and laid this out. The front of the shop has always a great soft light in the front which I use alot for in studio picture shots. This one I had to get on the ladder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
