This is
a mockup of an element to be used in the making of a patio table.
Each element is made up of a collection of only two shapes arranged
in a pattern and will be held together with collars. With a little
imagination, quite a variety of patterns can be developed by grouping
together simple components

Wrought iron hand-forged sign made in a more
traditional style
|

This is another example of
a more traditional style of blacksmithing.
Every piece and every process in the making of this sign was done
completely by hand - no modern machinery was used. All of the
pieces were cut by hand using hammer and chisel and all of the
welding was done the old-fashioned way in the coal forge. All
of the pieces were assembled with traditional joinery using rivets
and collars
