Making the Prototype...

Salvaging materials...

Nextdoor's house was being demolished, so I thought I'd take advantage of their wrought iron gate, which otherwise would've been put into a dumpster...




Took it apart with the angle grinder...



2 pieces, ready for heating & to be twisted.


Heated metal

whilst the metal is hot, I brushed it with a brass wire brush.
This allowed the colour to adhere to the hot surface, giving it a golden finish.


twisted wrought iron, single piece.
Brass brushed.


cutting to length : 45mm


Final 15 pieces.
