Completed in April 2026 this pair of projects for Teddingtons field in Merthyr Tydfil, was a collaboration with master of metal Glen Adams of @horizon_forge . We created a set of new gates and a balancing, Daubenton's, bat sculpture, which spins and tilts in the wind. The overall design was inspired by the nearby Cyfarthfa ironworks and the transformation of the site into a nature reserve.
Marking 80 years of D-day for Llanbradach with this beautiful bench at the centre of the village. It was a real pleasure being commissioned to create a memorial bench for the village that I’ve had my workshop in for more than 25years. This is truly a locally sourced item using local companies who went above and beyond to help me get this finished on time thank you to Kyle @silvercloudesigns Blackwood for the wonderful vinyl work, Imran @processdevelopment Llanbradach for the central plaque, @cardiffgalvanizers getting it done in a day for cheers and the others who don’t want to be mentioned (you know who you are! :))

Golf bench. This bench was made back in 2018 as a memorial to a fanatical left handed golfer Mike, at his golf club to be placed on the green that he achieved the holy grail of a “hole in one!”. I decided to manufacture a metal version of his actual golf bag with details such as pens and tags and incorporating his own custom left handed clubs to give the impression that he had simply walk away from his equipment for a moment! #memorialbench #benches #benchesofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #memorialart #welshartistsoninstagram #artwelding #handmade #customart #madebyhand #golf #golfing #golfart #artistiaidcymru #artistblacksmith #metalart #weldart #metalartists #metalart
Work experience day with my nephew helping me take down a section of railing at Saint Tydfil’s Merthyr Tydfil. It been a long time since I’ve been asked to do a restoration project, I just hope I can remember how! ;) #restoration #workexperience #merthyrtydfil #tradionalskills
