The scrolls of life

Featured Replies

Im in the process of making a gate based on a 19 century design.
The scrolls are from 1" x 1/2" formed on edge.
This is my first attempt at blacksmithing since I worked as a fitter welder some 15 years ago.

Nice looking scrolls. Please show the gate as you make it, it should be lovely.

Great work there.
I bet that hefty looking bar took some persuading to scroll.

Here is the finished gate in good old West of Ireland summer rain.
As per usual I didnt take any photos prior to hanging.
Materials used were 1 1/2 x 3/8 flat for the main frame,3/4 solid for the uprights and 1 x 3/8 for the braces and scrolls.
Total weight is 420 lbs.
Oh and the scrolls took 10 hours in total.
Overall it took 4 week of evenings

lovely gates, makes a change from the usual west of ireland style that seems to be the same from one end of the country to the other

Thanks for all the complimentary replies.
The next job I've to do is make old style pillar and drive-way lights.
Anyone got any ideas/photos.
The plan is to have them solar powered.
