We had to go overseas for family reasons and since it was my partners family. None of who I really know or speak the language I had to find other ways to amuse myself. I went to work for a successful blacksmith for 5 days. He gave me a project to make a pedestrian gate he had designed to match a large double gate already done. He has many years worth of work at this 1700’s castle both new and restoration work.
This was my assignment, drawn full scale.
