An interesting challenge

Giusseppe - Sunday, March 14, 2010 - 3:39pm

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.
After two years of debate they decided that my original metal handrails would be best ... a bit late as my design was an integral part of the panels .....
I began work on bundles of bars and then had an interesting request ...apparently a little girl had asked where to put drinks when watching an event from the balconies ...here is my solution ...
handrail with drinkholder

trying to fill up the container I knocked this little grill up for a house in Chelsea ...just some collars needed to finish off ...
door grill: almost finished .... grill to go outside a glass door so that there is still security when door is open ...glass will have at least a lilly etched into surface to compliment design.

Where to bend next ... www.metalgarden.ca

You are really going above and beyond on this project!

Good on ya!

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice there is.

As always when you put your hand to something Guiseppe, this is another damn fine solution and really well integrated into the design. Outstanding.

No Beer Bottle?

Giusseppe,
You sure do get the flow of the metal in your pieces, so much action in the curves and bends, great to see.
Now if you had a beer bottle in the holder.

www Metalrecipes -- heat and beat to the desired shape, repeat as necessary.
