Hand-hammered leaves

So, yesterday, I was out in our shop working on a fence panel, and was getting frustrated trying to make a weld, then I thought back to the simplicity of hand hammering, and how things were done in the old days, and it reminded me of the leaves we hammered out for our last gate, which was undeniably the most fun part. There's nothing quite like turning red-hot steel into something beautiful.


More pictures to come of the finished and final gate.
