New project started yesterday. This will eventually be a slightly ornate house number panel to put in front of the new letterbox. #blacksmith #metalwork
More progress today. A lot quicker when you have electricity to run the electric blower.
Fixed up the bottom scroll and have done on of the top ones (although I need to attach the branches yet); still need to make a 2nd identical but mirrored top scroll.

However, I got the 9 done and started on the bottom curly bit.

One scroll down, now to make another nearly identical one.

in reply to David de Groot π • • •All the forging is done. Now I just need to paint it and itβll be ready to install.
I opted to wire-wrap the curly bits on, could have used hot collars, but wire wrap is also ok.

The letterbox is awaiting installation from the electrician that destroyed the last one (pending a slab).
