Rowing the Atlantic

Giusseppe - Saturday, February 11, 2012 - 7:05pm

I am planning to row the Atlantic solo in 2013.
I want to fund the row myself and use the 3000nm trip to raise money for fresh water wells in countries where the need is desperate.
The only way I can raise the 100k needed for such an adventure is to do what I do best ...make metalwork.

help with sliding gate please

Giusseppe - Monday, May 10, 2010 - 9:21pm

Hi everyone,
I need some help please .....
As you know my gates are rarely regular in shape and a horizontal line is pretty rare ...I have a client who wants her gate to slide rather than turn automatically. I am so used to using hydraulic boxes that will turn just about any shape that I weld to them that I have never given any thought to sliding mechanisms.

An interesting challenge

Some time ago I made 80 balconies for a community center in liverpool ...I think I posted something because I had all the local people help make knots for the center details.
At the time they wanted wooden handrails so I left that with them.
