Hand Forging a Gate!

This is a gate I made using traditional blacksmithing methods. The metal i'm using is wrought iron from wagon wheel bands. The wheel bands are possibly 100 years old, and since this is probably the last ever gate made this way, I felt like it should be documented in some way. This is 6 weeks work in 14 minutes.
