Chuck - That table is an example of awesome work!!! Very elegant. Do tell - how many hours do you have into it?

[kustomsteel]

Wow! Love it, the leg design is excellent. Nice work!

[Jim Coke]

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

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

[VaughnT]

That is some truly spectacular work!  The detail you got in the vines makes them look real.  Very impressive accomplishment.

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.

[Frosty]

That is just extraordinarily beautiful work Chuck! Will you share more of your portfolio please?

That is just mind blowing. A perfect example of what talent and steel combined can come up with.

Wow, this is amazing, well done! How did you get the texture on the vines?

I made  a set of spring dies for my Beaudry power hammer

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.

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!

Remarkable work pro Chuck !

Incredible work on that spectacular table. Like all the awesome and gorgeous details. The vines, grapes and the leaves look amazing. It definitely belongs in a museum.

Now that the Anvil's Ring is bringing back their gallery you should consider submitting photos of this project. Amazing work.

[Eddie Mullins]

Not sure what else I can add, but you have another fan. Would definitely love to see more pics of your work (and tools).

[Marksnagel]

Truly beautiful work!

This is an exquisite project! You have great attention to details. The execution is flawless. The design is unique  and elegant. Quality at its best. Awesome forging. Well done.

[Chuck Fraser]

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.

 

  Thanks
