North London installion of an Art Nouveau railing for a private client. This was a lot of fun to make and a real test of patience and accuracy because so little was straight forwards. Just the way I like my work – a challenge!

Here the client's property is situated inside a local vineyard, so a stylised grape vine was a natural design step. All forged out with the gas forge and my Massey and then all fire-welded together this was a lot of fun to make!!!

One hand rail made and installed for a local client. I've made use of traditional joinery to bring a bit of life to an otherwise fairly utilitarian piece.

A day of on site finishing of the installation of this lovely run of railing. Deliberately quite fine as per clients request with two clematis vines growing up and over the railing. Blue is not a common colour for railing but it works well in gardens as it mixes with the greens of summer, Oranges reds and yellows of Autumn and brings colour to the garden in winter. Loads of mortise and tending present here along with a TON of fire-welding.

This morning was all go on site, fitting 10m of balustrade by lunch. A simple fabricated frame but plenty of fun fire welding up all the s scrolls and forging all the collars. Im not a mad fan of scrolls and twists so i have taken the less is more approach, simple but elegant was the plan!
