mailbox crab grill

Mailbox stand 40"high 24"deep 14"wide; Branches are forged with bark textured. Leafs forged from 3/16" by 4" Brass numbers, tobin bronze leaf door pull. Leaf form for flag forged from 3/4" square copper. Material for stand: mild steel; Finish: Charleston green acrylic lacquer. The Crab Grilll - This decorative grill was done for a private residence on Hilton head Island SC. The home is right on the ocean and the grill is exposed to the salt air breezes so it was forged using Monel 400 which is a non-corrosive nickel-copper alloy. Because of the high nickel content Monel 400 is very difficult to forge. The outside frame was forged down from 7/8" round to 13/16" round and the verticle bars are 5/8" round forged with a scallop design. All joinery on the frame is done using mortice and tenons which is a traditional method of attachment. This method not only is used for structural integrity, but provides a visually pleasing design element. The crab bodies were made from 16 gauge monel sheet and the legs were forged from solid round bars. The legs were tig welded inside the body shell and then attached to the vertical bars. The crabs have their pincers gripping the verticle bars to help hold them in place.

Restoration at the Last Dollar Ranch near Telluride,Colorado
including building this log barn was done by Ted Meows.
The front doors weighed 1000 lbs. each and the hinges are 6" wide and 4 feet long. The back doors slide sideways along the back wall on a 14' roller track built by Glenn. The arrowhead motif was used throughout the entire project which included the new barn and 7 other restored buildings dating back to the early 1900's. Glenn made the hinges and latches on all of these buildings.

"We still enjoy and appreciate your beautiful ironwork at Last Dollar.
We're so proud of that barn - and grateful for your contribution."
