3 runs of branch handrails, this is the simplest, the other two being curved and a bit of a head scratcher. Fire welded and riveted, this design seems to capture an elegance and a effortless sense of flow. #garden #gardens #gardendesign #handrail #ironwork #metaldesign #forged #rivet #bespoke #iron #blacksmithdesigner

Freshly back from my Italian adventures it seems pretty apt to wrap up this Olive tree gate….almost as juicy as a ripe tuscan olive this gate forms part of a bigger parcel of work that’s underway, including a balcony and railings, all eventually for a Brighton town house.

All done on this project….. a rework of a design from 15 odd years ago but with freestanding posts and different seed head forms. There’s been quite a flurry of activity lately as we wrap up projects before I head off to Italy for a few weeks to gorge on antipasti and sip chianti. 🍷 …. I enjoyed this one, it makes a change to ditch the linear and have a design with a less conventional structure. #metaldesign #bespoke #craft #maker #forged #gardens #gardeninspiration #gardendecor #gardengate #gardengates #iron #ironwork #blacksmithdesigner

Exciting to see this one in the wild 🦓……..This balustrade was deceptively complicated as we couldn’t fix onto the lead parapet but instead had to rely on swept outriggers for rigidity all the while balancing this with the flow of the undulating looped design. Thanks as ever to my trusty sidekick Patrick @mulberrytree_forge for the hard work and to great clients @jangonnella who entrusted us with the project. #railing #bespoke #gardens #ironwork #balustrade #metaldesign #metalwork #iron #blacksmithdesigner #forged #architecturalmetal

I’m excited to bring this one of the page……Textured plate, lots of punched holes and joggles…. This one is gonna look great. I’ve had a few occasions recently of designs that never happened belatedly getting their day in the sun, this was originally developed for a house on the Isle of Wight in 2016. Happily the design has turned out to be the perfect fit for a new project in Surrey, a modern house nestled in the woods. #drawing #design #gates #entrancegates #linear #modernhouse #iron #forged#metaldesign #contemporarydesign #metal #architecturalmetal #ironwork

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.

I swung by to see how the sign looks now that the @longmaninn is finally open and the hard landscaping is finished…… fun project, great clients and big squishy forgings👌🏼#signage #sign #metaldesign #longman #wilmington #southdowns

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 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 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 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
