That's quite the railing David, I see happy customers in your future.

What did you use to buck the bronze medallions when you peined the tenons?

Used a rivet set I made years back then drilled a hole the same size of the set thru a 2 x 4 x 4 steel chunk I had and then poked the set thru and welded it. Then I put my 140lb soaking wet apprentice behind that. Lol

How long does your apprentice stay wet enough to work?

Making a set is probably better than a special buck and hand peining the heads.

looks great, what type of finish for weather protection?

Powder coating on the rail, and clear coating on the copper.

I have to water him down every 30 min in the summer. winter just once but he freezes up pretty quick.
