Final outrigger checks on our latest balcony proje Final outrigger checks on our latest balcony project before galvanising. #architecturalmetal #forged #balcony #metaldesign blacksmithdesigner #craft #bespoke #iron #railing
Our website relaunch has gone live today….. webs Our website relaunch has gone live today….. websites age pretty quick and I felt our one needed a refresh. There’s more emphasis on the process, we’ve ditched the blog as no one has one of those anymore, more rakish shots of me and even a little shop. Link is in my bio….. go and see what my 20 years of drawing, cutting, punching and forging looks like. Thanks as ever to @spoonthread for the wise counsel on the minutiae of fonts and  design, Helen Twineham for the WP  build and @thomatkinson for the recent film which has been central to the new look.

Always fun to steer a course with yachts wheel, the large furnace coming into its own on this one. incredibly beautiful scale on the twists too 👌🏼 #twist #process #craft #metalwork #bespoke #gardensculpture #hot
Like a forged interpretation of estate railing it Like a forged interpretation of estate railing it was great to get this one installed today. The client was keen for us to develop a design that didn’t interrupt the stunning views of the South Downs beyond. This one is super linear with an uber neat halving joint on  one of the uprights……. Thankfully it all came together rather well…….apart from the intermittent hail and downpours 🙄 #gardendesign #gardenmetalwork #gardenrailing #iron #metaldesign #architecturalmetalwork #ironwork #bespokemetalwork #linear #forged #blacksmithdesigner #gardenbalustrade #gardeninspiration #patiostyle #patio
3 long days on site in Primrose Hill and it’s a 3 long days on site in Primrose Hill and it’s a wrap on this one……over 20 metres of forged and fire welded boundary railing. Thankful for fantastic clients and the help of Patrick @mulberrytree_forge for helping with this one. Great work and especially nice to once again use the same fire welded detailing that we developed, all helping to unify the ironwork at the property. All subtly different but speaking the same language 👌🏼. #ironwork #railing #primrosehill #blacksmithdesigner #bespoke #metaldesign #craft #madeinsussex #metalwork #periodproperty
Jig-onomics………Hot stuff being bent around co Jig-onomics………Hot stuff being bent around cold stuff by skilled operatives well versed in the art of consistency……these 30+ loops are part of a balustrade project and needed to look effortless and fluid. #tooling #jig #process #hotshit #iron #metaldesign #craft #jigonomics
Little Juliet awaiting patination…… swipe left Little Juliet awaiting patination…… swipe left and you’ll see this piece is a rework of a garden gate from a decade ago. The clients loved this design and wondered if it could be reborn a few stories up ⬆️ …….#balcony #metal #julietbalcony #forged #ironwork #iron #blacksmithdesigner #craft #bespoke

Feels like ages since I’ve done any drawings…. Feels like ages since I’ve done any drawings…. Really enjoying getting back in touch with ink and lead. These 2 will form part of a client presentation for a possible balcony project, the other designs being a bit more fluid and playful. One thing about what I do is you’ve always gotta keep it rolling, the making being but a small part. #drawings #handrawn #design #sketch #metaldesign #balcony #railing #concept #blacksmithdesigner #bespoke #craft
Trial fit of this whopper before site install in a Trial fit of this whopper before site install in a few weeks. Forged and fabricated signage with integrated lights for @longmaninn in East Sussex. The custom nut and bolt system I developed for this has thankfully worked beautifully. #signage #sign #metaldesign #blacksmithdesigner
Not so simple….. 150x50 fabricated twisted chann Not so simple….. 150x50 fabricated twisted channel sections for an upcoming collab with @flintman_co @andysturgeondesign for @highhousesussex……we suggested a sample just to check feasibility. Tricky to produce and required custom tooling but looks great 👌🏼 #gardensculpture #gardendesign #sample #twist #blacksmithdesigner
What 5 days of solid fire welding looks like….. What 5 days of solid fire welding looks like….. Patrick’s done a fine job on this lot . We were gonna share the welding on these but he got so stuck in I left him to it. Now it’s onto punching and curving top and bottom rails. #forging #ironwork #metaldesign #blacksmithdesigner
Found some time to finish of this candlestick yest Found some time to finish of this candlestick yesterday, this was begun the week before when I did a talk and demo for the students @plumptoncollege , but alas the fire welding gods were feeling vengeful, either that or I was nattering on too much and I burnt off a chunk twice on the last weld🙄. I originally developed this design some years ago as a live competition piece, coming second I think to the champ @richard.hillam. I like the concept of one plate bending up in dynamic curves, on a functional note it could probably do with sconces . I couldn’t use a power hammer for the demo so this was forged and fire welded by hand from 7 different pieces and tube. #forged #process #craft #iron #blacksmithdesigner
Simple is always best…….. we fitted this slice Simple is always best…….. we fitted this slice of goodness today whilst templating a much larger railing in North London. Forged stainless 316 with a patinated bronze finish. This one ticks all the boxes for me… process ✔️ form ✔️ tactile ✔️ functional ✔️……Thanks @artisticmetals.uk for the superb job on the finishing. #bronze #details #architecturaldetail #architectural #metaldesign #bronze #patinated #texture #tactile #handrail #handrails #metalwork #designdetails #craft #process
