Country gate

[pondman]

Hi all

Its been a while since my last post, my heads been under the ground! I'm busy working on a gate that I thought I'd share. I'm really happy with the design but gates arent really my thing so its come with its problems I got use a few different techniques so I've really enjoyed making the design. Hopefully it hangs well...

Regards

Shaun

Wow, i really like these
you have made a nice little scene there,great work.
How are they being finished ? I think the scene would be lost if just painted black,unless your board behind.

Top class job Shaun, Both in design and execution,Really like it a lot. I think you will have inspired a few plagiarists, I'm with Strada, what finish will show it off to best advantage/

Thank you very much! Its going to be powder coated black and will have a grey back to show it off.

They are made mostly with the xl5

Brilliant work, yet another in the style Metalcraft.
There is definitely a style developing using these tools.
Is the tree made of lengths of bars overwelded?
Sean, good to see you about, i was going to give you a bell and see what is going on.

Thanks Alan! It just shows what they're capable of making, just need an imagination

Been a bit stressed out, its been a long summer an things got a bit blurry! I dont have enough hand to keep up with demand.

How are you keeping?

Busy busy busy at the moment.
Having a great year.
Sold a bunch of stuff, got some good commissions on the go and have a couple of large works going to auction with Sotheby's.
Hopefully they will pay for a paraglider.
I have gone mad, see my thread what did you do today children.
This what I did yesterday.

My Mum is freaking out properly.

I saw something about this a while back. That looks incredible!! I wont show my wife cause she'll be wanting one! She absolutely loves flying and used to be a skydive junkie until a bad fall which smashed her leg! Looks amazing, how often do you get out?

 

[chunkolini]

As often as I can, just got my elementary pilot ticket, next up ridge soaring etc.
I am completely hooked and am after getting my licence and own gear.
If she fancies a tandem flight it can be done but would cost you an absolute fortune if she got the bug.
Looking at that picture I cant believe I was doing that.
Keep up the good work.

Regards, Alan.

That's not a gate - it's a stained glass window (sans glass)!

Great work!

It would be awesome as a stained glass window I'd really like to have a go at stained glass one day.
