here's a little grille/door/window (I don't know how to call it) I made some time ago to hide a gas counter found in a niche on the front of a fancy restaurant:

 

I like that design.  Very traditional at first glance but with a subtle modern feel.  The joinery at the middle is arresting and draws attention nicely.   Folks will look at your work not the door which is the purpose!  Good work.

Where is your touchmark on it?

Perfect symmetry. Clever!

@ Thomas - from over 20 years I've wanted to make a touchmark, but being a perfectionist I haven't find the perfect design yet, to be content of, so no touchmark, unfortunately. I just sign my knifes by etching my signature when it's possible. I know that's not good for me. I see many who just touched the metal twice and have touchmarks, websites, appear on tv, etc... self promoting first, then maybe some craft.

Yes, symmetry was a pain in the ass, as the pieces were made freehand, but the most difficult (always) was to find the design - the creative part. no matter how hard you force yourself, the inspiration comes when it wants. well you can summon it somehow by trying again and again, forget about it for a while, then try again. of course, you can just "throw something" more or less lousy (I know many ho do it like this) and many people/customers may like it, you know - "it's handmade", it's "artistic", it's "rustic", and so on. I cannot make something that's not up to my demands. first of all it's me who has to be satisfied. It doesn't always payback financially, at least not for immediately, but promotes you.

Beautiful work!

It promotes you so well that people need to see your touchmark on it so they can track you down and throw money at you...

I like it. What was the starting material? And did you weld the central piece or is it one piece? 

 

All the best

the starting material - 14/14mm square stock. yes, the central piece is welded and the welded area is then forged to have the same texture as the rest. the area was thicker to have material to be forged down to the shape.

 

A real beauty again.

I have been a problem solver all my professional life and I have learnt that inspiration comes when outside the ordinary humdrum like alone  in a restaurant in an unfamiliar place.

Please show us more of your designs

thank you!

I promise. just check the others categories, too.

Masterful work.  Inspirational.  I'd love to see a video or photo tutorial on the build process with a piece like this.  So many questions....

thank you. the most difficult wasn't to shape the elements, but to make them simmetrycal, left-right, up-down forging them absolutely free hand. even to me is hard to remember exactly how I did it.

I love everything about it!  Nice!
