Installing the gates  

Preparations Design Forging Installation Dedication
The installation began with the borders and rosettes.  After taking very exact measurements, the borders had been cut to length back at the forge.  The borders  were attached to the wall with concrete screws with hand-forged rivet heads. 

We made a template for each panel which marked the posts that would anchor the section of the panel to the wall.
The panels are not a continuously joined piece.  Various segments of the panels were welded together as the design permitted but each section had to be meticulously positioned on the wall.
Though self-described as merely the conveyor of the message and the art-form, the artist is allowed a moment of exhilaration.
