Close to finishing... [img][IMG]http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb457/Paul_Tinwell/Gates/1069932_10200772694337895_1057343039_n.jpg[/img][/img] [img][IMG]http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb457/Paul_Tinwell/Gates/976058_10200772689417772_1327339891_o.jpg[/img][/img]

A little more fitting-up, a strip-down and some cleaning, and we're done. Well, apart from the lights and more ground-works.

76mm dia 304 stainless with a large reef-knot fabricated from bends.

A fun project.

Cheers... Paul

Nice to see a gate without the run of the mill pre made ornaments. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's nice to see something different. I also like that it's not overdone.

Paul nice work and welcome to the forum.

Thanks to you all for your kind comments. Its always my aim in life to be more than ordinary, so I'm very pleased to see I've hit the mark here.

I'll post some pictures of the finished articles in a week or two once everything is finished to satisfaction.

Cheers... Paul

Those look great! Very nice work. As a former stagehand, I love the knot, a very nice touch!
