Blacksmithing Good Day The Telluride was quite fun. I put more on my plate this year then I could handle, sort of like a small child at Thanksgiving. As result, I was way behind schedule. After several delays, I promised I would have two set of fireplace doors and two fireplace screens done before Christmas. Well I got them done, but with no time to ship. I left Thursday afternoon, arrived Telluride Saturday noon, installed and returned back to Afton, Virginia on the evening of Christmas Eve. Total miles 3129. Bloody hell, I'm tired. Sorry for the poor quality of photos, I really need to get a better camera and learn to use it properly. The size of this door made it quit interesting, 74 by 45 inches. Doors started to get heavy. They're made out of 2 1/2 by 3/16 inch flat bar with 2 by 1/8 flat bar in the back to sandwich the mesh. Frame is 3 by 2 by 3/16 angle. Bending the curve was the hardest part. Four inches at a time in the fire. :-) Reply |
