Our insta output has been a bit subdued for much of this year….we’ve had lots going on but have been unable to share the fruits of our labours due to NDA’s covering our current project. All rather frustrating, and I look forward to the return of normal service in 2026. In the meantime shout out to my friends @tmstudio_ @antoniamaddenlewes for recognising the extra festive functionality in our ring door knocker 👌🏼#doorknockers #iron

Press tooling for yet more stainless parts….. all for our current bronze gates project. All tooling laser cut as well as a rather effective cutting jig that allows for super accurate feather edge saw cuts at precise widths. As with so much tool making it’s hours of development and over before you know it….. #tooling #hydraulic #pressed #stainless #metaldesign #satisfying #jig #blacksmithdesigner #gates #gate #architecturalmetal #design #craft #bespoke #gardengates

Our adventures in the land of stainless continue with a new iteration of this tool. Works flawlessly and well worth a morning to make . This time hairpins with a pretty tight ID of 47mm. 6 gates underway all 316, Bronze thermal spray. #gates #metaldesign #blacksmithdesigner #gate #bespoke #details #architecturalmetal #iron #wroughtieon #craft #gardengate #stainless #stainlesssteel

Making one of our Edge handrails this morning, forged in stainless, beautifully simple with a slight fullered texture. Hot punched on edge the ‘hard way’ with little room for error. So much so that using the hydraulic press isnt an option with these. Love this design. This one will be in patinated bronze as with the original.

The sample for our current project with @charlottesandersongardendesign and @studioindigoltd in Wimbledon. All forged and textured 316 stainless with a patinated thermal bronze finish. It’s going to look fab in a very beautiful garden 👌🏼.

Great to be invited to be the first maker in the “Window showcase” in Lewes. The first steps in a project that uses unused retail space in the town to showcase members of the @themakersdirectory . This selection of work will be in Station street for the next 6 weeks.
This project has been made possible by the kind assistance of @visit.lewes @gspbrighton and @marcocrivello_artist and not to mention the hard work of Corina and Flo !

Chomping our way through over 40 linear metres of forged 316 stainless top rail for our current balustrade and railing project. Patrick showing us how it’s done 2m at a time. Forge, flatten, cool, straighten then repeat …..👌🏼. #massey #forged #powerhammer #metaldesign #balustrade #architecturalmetal #bespoke #blacksmithdesigner

Last day in the forge today before we take a break

Last day in the forge today before we take a break. I’m finishing 2024 with the final touches to this rather delicate little gate for old clients in Steyning, East Sussex. Thanks to all our clients old and new for a wonderful year crammed with great projects, and not to mention Patrick @mulberrytree_forge for his sterling work behind the scenes 💪🏻#gates #gate #gardengate #iron #ironwork #wroughtirongate #metaldesign #forged #craft #blacksmith

Here’s a few shots of the 2 extra large editions of our Fold and Upset fire baskets before they are crated up to ship. Commissioned by @kureckjones for a project of theirs in Rhode Island, these pieces of ironwork will last a lifetime. Really enjoyed forging these, particularly how well these scaled up from the originals. These 2 are big with footprints of around 80x65cm. #interiors #fireplace #hearth #metaldesign #blacksmithdesigner #firebasket #fire #ironwork #forged #interiordecor

We’ve got a couple of large fire baskets underway at the moment for an architecture studio in the US. Both these designs are larger editions of the Fold and Upset fire baskets. As these are so much larger than the originals we’ve had to remake all the custom tooling. There’s going to be some rather heavy crates heading over the Atlantic…… photo credit for the Fold basket @hughfoxstudio

Refining the process…. It’s been great fun to ditch the keyboard and get stuck into a quantity of these. Forged components for our ongoing gate design for @andysturgeondesign in Cambridge.

Pair of gates for some nice people in Kew, west London. This design wasn’t what I originally proposed but instead evolved into something more client lead. The leaf forms are taken from the surrounding trees and they were excited about combining details from several of my design proposals…… not how I usually work and my initial thoughts were 🙄 but it turned out great and was fun to make. See if you can spot the birds?? 🐦 . Great work as ever Patrick 👍🏻@mulberrytree_forge #gates #gate #bespoke #forged #blacksmithdesigner #iron #ironwork #drivewaygates #kew #entrancegates #architecturalmetalwork

Pergola season continues…..this time our path lead to leafy Muswell Hill in North London. Soon to be covered in Wisteria , this version uses T sections and echos French ironwork at the turn of the last century. Patrick oversaw most of the work on this one and did a super job with some super tidy connections between different sections 👌🏼@mulberrytree_forge. #pergola #gardens #gardens #shade #ironwork #gardeninspiration #metaldesign #gazebo #gardendesign #iron #blacksmithdesigner
