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!

It's great to see the sun again!

It really makes the oiled finish on these table legs pop, this isn't an exterior finish so it's not something you see often.

Off to the client now for fitting to his bespoke wooden table tops.

This was a sample of a stair bannister rod that we made for a client in Aberdeen a short while ago.

Really pleased with how this turned out, the flower head especially since it is deceptively large and certainly tested the hammer.

Almost finished the restoration of these old cast iron gutter brackets for Letterewe House.

They are very thinly made but from a good quality iron with relatively low levels of impurities, which thankfully has meant that the numerous repairs that needed to be done have been fairly straightforward. They have been blasted and will now be painted ahead of installation back on site.
