simar kid 22 #1 Posted February 15, 2014 Not quite an old machine but home made metal work all the same. Went to a job last week and widened the main entrance for a customer. The old wrought iorn gates where now to small,so I begged them for a project which I am doing on the new house I have built with friends. Project is to rehash the free gates and convert them into decrotive railings which have to fit between two brick pillars either side of the entrance gate to the front door. 2 Lauber1 and neil reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
