Part of the brief I submitted for the Springfield commission was that I would attempt to make as much of the work as I could from reclaimed materials. Initially I was looking to scrap metal merchants but it wasn’t long before I was trawling Facebook market place for old wrought iron gates. As often seems to be the way that I found I had enough by the time I’d exhausted the local supply Here’s a photo of them laid out in my workshop. Note the ones propped up too. That’s a lot of old iron!
