Top cats garage art continued ....

More madness for those that liked the smoker ..sally and I have spent 20 years building our garden wanted some special pieces to place around ..I have a great blacksmith friend Matt that lets me use his Forge he encouraged me ...my first piece16 years ago a dragon swing forged them out of 316 stainless my aircraft knowledge allowed me to produce the compound curve inspiration from a Celtic earring ? but hung off centre once finished I took it for electro polishing it never tarnishes ..with sheepskin rugs inside really comfy ..support steel tube frame I galvanised then acid etched so it looks like lead not sure you will see but I even sculpted a dragons head holding the chain ..Matt benind my back entered it In the royal welch show lots of blacksmiths from uk enter ..(it won best in show ) one of my highlights ..there was no garden just a field started with hedges ..and did a few rooms ..
