A nice little job fixing up these gates, some minor repairs after a car drove into one of them a catch and drop bar fitted and realignment so they fit together properly. These gates have been like this for a number of years so the client is very happy to finally get them working again!

So this was an interesting project. This gate was hit by a tractor and bent into a perfect parallelogram. Given the am...

So this was an interesting project. This gate was hit by a tractor and bent into a perfect parallelogram.

Given the amount of damage it would usually just be replaced with a new gate, however there was little or no twisting or buckling, it was only bent two dimensions and so was a fairly easy repair. The damage was in a sense perfect!

A nice little job and something a bit different. This is going to be the bin store for an old property in inverness, the client recently cast the concrete plinth and our job was to make it safe and prevent anyone falling down the 20 foot drop into the cellar space below.

Probably one of the nicer bin stores you'll see, it needed to tie in visually with the original victorian railings that run along the front of the house so we've tried to make it inkeeping.

Sometimes the biggest projects aren't the largest or the heaviest. We just finished these eight chairs for a client to go with the dining table we made last year. The client gave us the seats and we just added the legs, but even then it was a marathon to get them finished. Very pleased with the result though!

Just finished this evening, a set of railings and gate for a property in nairn that hasn't had any for over 80 years. The clients brief was to make them look as though they had always been there since the house was built in the 19th century, albeit with a few custom features and we were allowed to use modern welding etc.

All went smoothly, although the sunburn isn't great!

Almost at the end of the latest batch of projects, the first being this pair of handrails for a lady in inverness. A very enjoyable project with a few quirky features.

Busy installing another bigger project from tomorrow, though hopefully it won't be as hot as today!

Another handrail, this time for a property down near Dores, on the south side of Loch Ness. It's turned out similar to the last one we did. A very nice easy build and install.

Something a little bit different. This handrail was designed to make the best use of the clients steps for their elderly visitors and to try and fit in with the appearance of the front of the house as they are keen gardeners. Quite a lot of forging in this one.

The client is happy so hopefully we've succeeded!
