I Just finished up the install of this hand railing, arched window grille and handle. It was fun to be able to use some traditional joinery to create these pieces. This was at a residence in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area executed and designed by myself. I handcrafted everything you see here with the exception of a few pieces of mounting hardware.

I was approached last year about building a crane sculpture as a memorial piece. It was to be placed in a park in cottage grove. This is the result. This is all stainless steel forged and fabricated. Based on an origami crane. The area around it will be planted up in the coming weeks. # stainlesssteelsculpture

I had the pleasure of installing this hand railing in the bitter cold yesterday. This one resides near Como Lake in St. Paul MN . I hope you enjoy these many views of the same thing.
The posts in this rail are 1" solid. I cold bent them using my P5 fly press. The hand cap is 3/8" x 1.5" solid bar that I face textured and edge beveled. The branch type pieces are 5/8" and 1/2" solid round. The leaves were forged out of 1/2" solid square. All of the material is A36 hot rolled mild steel with a slate black exterior powder coating.
No straight lines is fun in my opinion.

Pictured here is a forged and fabricated table that I crafted over the last few months for a long term client of mine.
I feel quite fortunate to have a few clients who enjoy quality products that are outside the box. I wish all the projects were this fun.
The chair pictured is 1 of a set of 4 that I built for this customer in 2020.
It must be really enjoyable to sit in these chairs and have coffee at this table everyday.
Feel free to share if you care.
