We were thrilled to have Keith in the forge for a couple of days last week.

His wife and son bought him two days with us to design and make a weathervane for their home.

Inspiration for the design came from his wife's grandfather who developed the hunter class Norfolk Broads boat.

He drew up the design from an old photo and plasma cut the sails, forged the waves, welded the pieces together and balanced the finished vane so it would spin nicely.

He left tired but happy and with the bracket to make in his workshop at home.
