Handrails
A traditional handrail design for a traditional property. This has now been streamlined in the workshop to be one our standardised designs. With fire welded terminations, forged snubs on the vertical bars, held on with hot collars complimented with a shadow rail this handrail design oozes quality and class regardless of property type.
One of my all-time favourite commissions and the perfect blend of art meeting function. The design principle here was to give the impression a plant had grown out of the ground to form a handrail. Completely organic in nature, fully traditionally forged with fire welded leaves that blend seamlessly into the vines to give the best 3D organic forgings i could achieve.
My Flick termination handrail was a clients favourite here to allow access for my client concerned about their sone steps getting slippery. Fixed directly into the Railway sleepers and following uneven changes in elevation and uneven curves this defiantly required meticulous site survey and templating.
Fitted this curved hand rail for a Tunbridge Wells client. The vertical tapers are drawn down from 40mm solid with a 25mm cross rail passing through hot punched holes as a key feature. The termination posts which scroll round and have been deliberately pushed out to mimic the scrolls found at the top of cello peg boxes. This feature was incorporated to reflect the clients passion for making and teaching the cello.
I fitted these lovely pair of bulrush handrails just outside Tunbridge Wells. This is a really nice way of adding to a hand rail because the rushes are free standing which allows a lot of freedom when fitting and also helps the piece look more unique... and it means i get to play with my Massey power hammer.
