• Railing for a bridge in Bignor June 5th, 2013

    The design specifications for this piece was for the railing to be sculptural and to fit within a beautiful garden with a stream running beneath the bridge. So is inspired from natural, free flowing forms and is asymmetrical.

    Each element has been tapered or spread underneath the 1910 'Golith' powerhammer  then bent into shape. The most technically challenging piece is tapered, spread, split then bent, the picture below shows this piece before bending.

    The photo below shows the finished elements ready for assembley.

  • Restoration of Oxmarket sign bracket March 17th, 2012

    This was originally a decorative arch over an alley way gate but is to be restored and converted into a sign bracket.

    A new bracket will be attached at a right angle to the front of the above metalwork so the Oxmarket centre of arts can hang their new sign out on the high street of Chichester.

    Below is a water leaf, which is to replace the original corroded one.
