yves Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) In the sweet morning light, the new shutters to our cider making workshop.The collars are of medieval inspirationDetail of the collars :Forging the collars :The pin inserted in a punched hole in 3/4" bar were forge welded and driven in the door jamb.The top pintle is longer than the bottom ones to facilitate insertion.Waiting for some help to clinch the nails I forged.To hold the doors closed while I finish forging the hardware.By the way, the straps were folded and forge welded.

yves Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 The cider is a long way off (next year) we have to clean the barn, change some structure, insulate walls etc. There will also be some room for my "store" to show some of my forgings when people come. A big endeavor in fact. Lots of fun ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Very nice indeed. Be a shame to have the doors opened when people are around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I gotta say "that cider house RULES"! I LOVE those collars Yves!!! Both the technical concept and the look are terrific IMO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Good point Notown, it would be a shame. I guess Yves is just going to have to make some hardware for the inside, besides what he has on display. Folk like seeing hand forged hardware in practical use, those hinges are wowsers.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
