Preparations

Preparations Design Forging Installation Dedication
From the beginning we knew it would be important to be able to display the entire wall on site in order to coordinate the design of each panel.  To do this we needed a 16' x 24' wall.  And since we're doing that, well, we might as well expand the shop and put in that jib crane we've been thinking about

To get a closer view of the preparation, expand any image.

After being commission to do the project, we made numerous visits to the church not only to study the area that would be home to the gates but also to look for design elements within the church that may influence the design of the panels.   Afterwards, we constructed a set of stairs at the shop to help with perspective.
