This is the first of 9 panels I'm doing for a client (hopefully!- Although quote's accepted the goal posts keep moving on me, so this one's awaiting approval)

They sit between brick piers on a low wall along the frontage of the property, each one different, all about 3' tall by 7' long.

Once again, I'm feeling a little inadequate, and I don't quite know how I've got as far as I have not knowing this!

I have a customer wanting me to make a pair of gates, similar in style to his friend's entrance gates (photo) The frame of the gate is in 120mm x 75mm (4 3/4" x 3") hollow section, rolled the hard way on top.

Shield boss 1shield boss 2Shield boss 3Hate to be one of those friends who only turn up when they need something.... Haven't had anything very interesting to share of late, or got to spend much time on the p.c. But I do have an intersting/challenging enquiry from a guy supplying Viking/Saxon re-enactors who wants a quote for these shield bosses. They look like quite an exercise..and I'm sure one would start with a flat sheet, not with a billet as shown here? Anyone done anything like this... got any tips?

Here's a picture of a plaque I just made for our village's Memorial Hall (village hall originally built in honour of the dead of WW1 &WW2)
This is to commemorate it's recent refurbishment, and cover an ugly airvent above the front door.

Here's a little somebody I've been working on..He's about 7' tall, inspired by some drawings by Subirachs that my girlfriend had on the wall of her flat before we met, and now hang on the wall of our house. She used to feel protected by these guys when she lived alone in the big city!
