Scarecrow is finished

Hello folks today I finished the scarecrow, rather happy with how he looks had some other things in mind to put on but felt it would just be getting a bit too much, will paint the base next to just above the spring and let the rest go to a rust finish will look into methods of accelerating that process.

the gates

hi folks haven’t got much done to the scarecrow for a wee bit so i thought i would give a bit blurb about the gates, the original ones are old farmyard style so after a few years thinking about it decided to make my own , the frame is constructed from 25×25 box section 3mm wall and all the scrolls and twists were done by my own homemade jigs , the worst part of the job was the repetitive nature of the scrolls and twists but i feel it was worth it in the end .
