[TheForge] texturing long stock

[Gladish Family]

This one is a pair of garden gates- simple 2 wide x4 tall frames, arched a
bit on top.
I wanted to do upset corners (even though they could easily have been
welded) on the tops, so it made sense to do it in one 12' piece. That is,
until I tried to handle those long sticks in and out of the forge and
hammer!
Next time I'll get help or weld...
