Camerican Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Hey all here is a fireplace collab I did in 2021 with a local metal fabricator. She did all the flat steel stuff with her plasma table. I did the forging parts and she welded it all together. Comments and questions are always welcome. First 2 pics were prototyping. I realized quickly that consistency was key and came up with a process to get repeatable results using a 4" radius swage and then a scrolling jig. Also ended up using 1/4" square whereas the prototypes were 3/8 square because that's what I had on hand. Next 2 photos were to figure out proportions. I scrolled some mechanics wire by hand. Next pic is the layout before welding and the final results last. The fireplace was actually double sided. The rear door was in the garage which let the client keep the firewood out of the house.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 That is really nice, would fit in with any decor. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camerican Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 I would love to do a bigger one with collars at all the touch points. My wife has been asking me for a driveway gate. Maybe I go with this look for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Ooooh, a rolling driveway gate could have wheels with scrolled spokes. Hmmm? Of course a steam punk gate would be pretty cool. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
