Making Kumiko Gates with Sydney's Last Blacksmith - Collaboration Project

[@PaskMakes]

This was such a fantastic project to work on. I can't get over how cool the gates look and we had the best time making them. A huge thanks to the guys for coming up from Sydney, spending the week here and being part of an amazing project. :) Meet Sydney's last blacksmith Matt Mewburn kzbin.info/www/bejne/iniTdKKnqKmIr9k www.bhg.com.au/matt-mewburn-black-smith?fbclid=IwAR10gftwTuHh2VOsbbvys4IgIV8OAMAvRYdBRDBm8EJ4UARVdvsBPh94DV4 Matt's Instagram instagram.com/eveleighworks/ Facebook facebook.com/eveleighworks Please take a look and consider subscribing to Tim's channel.

I got error messages on Matt's and Corin's Instagram links.

[@achillesm1241]

Cheeky! there's more than one missing piece and you're outsourcing finding them! Someone mentioned one on the left gate missing a 12 o'clock, but i see one on the right missing it's lower piece.

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

Steel detailer from a welding shop here: This project is truly something to behold. Their may be "cheaper" or "easier" ways to make something like this, like with CNC laser or waterjet, but these results really speak for themselves. Beautiful work from everyone involved.

I'm also a steel detailer, glad to meet ya! I do miscellaneous stairs and rails in commercial buildings. wbu?

Not to mention that gate will be around for the next millenia. Very rarely do you find master craftsmen artwork with that level of beef and structure.

Definitely wasnt the easy way to do it!

Besides the fact that the gate came out stunning, (no surprise there), the real treat was to see how you all thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. And please make sure you show us when you’ve finished the final touches 😃

what an incredible piece of craftsmanship and a wonderful collaboration between all of you. you should all give yourselves a pat on the back for this one!

[@T_B]

This is the coolest collaboration project that I've ever seen! I have too many parts that are my favorite: the home-made dies, the attention to details (cold chiselling off the slag), the solutions to problems (setting up large pieces in front of the forge and surrounding them with fire bricks, the many decades of experience all working together, and of course... The final piece! The gap between the doors are absolutely perfectly symmetrical! I like the other side not welded; it gives the doors added personality and it wasn't needed anyway. Thank you for posting this video!

[@corinkayaker]

It was a great experience for all of us! So much learned. I just need to steel the welding table .

[@zeljkomarinkovic745]

[@willmorrison1022]

I LOVE watching people who know what they are doing do the things they do. What a blast you guys must have had! It shows in the finished piece. Just one more reason this is one of the very FEW channels I subscribe to. If I ever go to Australia, I just have to look for the killer carport and the wonderful kumiko gateway to know where I am.

[@nathantron]

If I may recommend. Try digging a shallow hole, and using giant plastic sheets and make a bath to put the gates in(or any larger piece of metal), and then use electroplating to make sure it will never rust. It creates a phenomenal result and it is nearly guaranteed to last more than a lifetime then. The hinges often last much longer too because it's a microscopic bond with the material. So as long as its greased, it will last ages...

[@PaskMakes]

That sounds interesting Nathan - I did think about making a tray to dip the gates in paint but this would be another level. :)

[@markfryer9880]

It would be easier to form up a shallow box with a plastic sheet liner. The tricky part would be flipping it over. Now that its in place it won’t be happening.
