Just thought i would post some images of a recent commission , i fitted the gates at Christmas but the weather was too awful to take photos, so i went back to touch up a few bits and take some pics.

Very nice - I admire both the form and detail.

The bent pencils and up turned umbrellas are cool. That is a great bit of whimsy.

Wow Very Nice !
Please Tell More About The Book Bag.

What a pleasure to view. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Very Nice; did you do all the designwork as well as the execution?

This one should show up in the coffee table books on smithing!

WOW.

I like it just as much on this forum as the other one!

Go figure.

That is some amazing work there Adrian. Not sure if it's to my taste but certainly well designed and executed.

The book bag is based on an old style leather school satchel. It is made from 3mm sheet steel, and made slightly oversized to the original. The strap is made from 30x8mm flat bar fullered down the centre to give it a rounded shape. There were even some buckles that were made from 6mm round and had 30x8 as buckle straps.

Man, your good! Very nice work indeed.

It's brilliant Adrian! Totally unique. Must have been a lot of fun to design and make.
