jlpservicesinc Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yes, very impressive.. The iron work is top notch..Almost looks like they were slotted and sized cold.. Must have been one heck of a forge.. Alan, where is the article write up on this beautiful work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Evans Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Thank you for the kind words. The holes were left as punched, no cold sizing! Straighten all bars to start with meticulously, and calculate the dynamics of the hole movement/bar length for the various cross sections of bar. My furnace design gives me a regular heat expansion and I made an end stop system with a loose piece for clearance. Should have a video of the punching somewhere. I did do a write up for the BABA magazine and do have some photographs of the making of the Bigg Market Gates...I probably will be able to find it on some hard drive somewhere, if I do I will post it on another thread.
