My son came to me and said that he wants to build a dinosaur. I told him that then he has to design one and this was the result. He even described the mechanism to move the jaw; “a metal bar through the side so it can move up an…

Outdoor bench with forged legs

Date 4 years ago
This is a project which spans across 4 generations. The frame was forged by my grandfather who was a blacksmith in the 1950s. It’s made out of spring steel and I’m planning to keep it exactly as it is as even the paint is original. The boards are Siberian Larch…
