A quick test install of the finished product with the letterbox placed behind.

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

All the forging is done. Now I just need to paint it and it’ll be ready to install.

I opted to wire-wrap the curly bits on, could have used hot collars, but wire wrap is also ok.

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.

Today’s progress. I pulled something in my left shoulder this morning so the forging time was reduced to the point where it started bothering me.

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