Very cool John! Did you fab the gate?

I did a graphic drawing on a grid. I had an artist help the fabricator lay
out the pattern on the welding floor.
Had to get the gate Hot dipped Galvanized. Then I copper and bronzed it.
I did all the construction, posts, wood work, driveway, and decks and
patio's in the back.

That is really cool John. Lots of work and lots of intricate detail that I
can appreciate. It takes a lot more to put all of those pieces together
than most may realize, and I want to acknowlege your effort. Then it takes
a lot of intricate work to make it all line up so that it looks like it was
all so easy...

Great job...

I've seen a lot of gates, but none as pretty as this. Looks like a
picture!

Thank You for the comment. the owner is having issues with cost
over-runs....
And it is an unusual product, hand made, with a delivery and pickup to a
Galvanizing company.
The paint itself was very expensive.....
When one gets near the end of a job it seems something always comes up.
