kustomsteel Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 A little gate project I recently completed. 1/2" round bar, 1/8" plate and 1"x 1/4" for the latch. The bird is 16 gauge stainless and silverware. Fun job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Mullins Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Beautiful gate, but I can't help being envious of the table too : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustomsteel Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thanks Mac! Eddie it's a 5'x6' platen table, got it for $300 and I love it but it has a slight crown that is frustrating when fabricating. One of these days I'll get it blanchard ground.

Jim Coke Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Greetings Kustom, I am jealous ... I have made several but my customers always seem to have dogs and small pets... I was concerned about entrapment in the scrolls.. Great flow and design.. Now that I live in the country and am retired I can make for my self any thing I want. Just for fun.. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustomsteel Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thanks Jim, I was very fortunate to have clients who wanted design over security. I like the gate pic you attached, although I would have made it a foot taller- somebody could climb right over it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 kustom - that bird is lovely!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 That's a very nice gate, I'll bet the customer is doing a happy dance. The bird is most excellent. Two years ago at the state fair there were a bunch of art pieces made from flatware, by kids from middle school to college. I've been watching at yard/garage sales. Well done, in spades.
