Jim Coke Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Greetings Chuck, Over the top... I love the tapered diagonal legs... Great design... I know how hard it is to keep the ball forms consistent .. Did you form all the grape bunches? Was this a commission or for personal use? Again super work... Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Fraser Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hi and thanks Jeremy I think me and my hired man have around 130 hrs. Jim we made the grapes one at a time and then MIG welded them into bunches. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastRonin Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It is a very nice piece of work. I'd just hate to have to be the one to keep it dusted, lol. The natural look you managed to give the vines, with all the jinks and bends... beautiful touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Fraser Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Wow, this is amazing, well done! How did you get the texture on the vines? Thanks I made a set of spring dies for my Beaudry power hammer Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Awesome work Chuck! Nice balance and form! Nice and solid without being heavy. I would love to come by and check out the Beaudry when I'm up your way... One of may favorite mechanicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Holy cow is this cool. I'm saving these pictures for ideas to steal from in future projects! Great stuff, very impressive! Was this sandblasted before finishing? What type of finish was applied? As light/airy/natural as it looks, I bet it is a chunky piece to move around!

Chuck Fraser Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks for all the compliments everyone, I have to give part of the credit to the hired help, with out them I could not get much done. I built the table frame and all the tooling for the vines and grapes. Forrest Cox, (my current employee ) forged the grapes and vines and installed them under my directions. I do have pictures of other work that has come out of my shop, I will try to post some when I get time. Speaking of pictures I will give some credit to Kenderic Molholt , his photography all most makes my ironwork look better than it is.
