[TheForge] Hitching post

[Bob Ehrenberger]

I have a customer that wants me to make the hardware for a hitching post to
decorate the front of his shop in a historic village.

I don't know anything about such things, but my idea was to have a metal
band to go around the top of the post and steel ring hanging from it.  I'm
thinking I can attach the ring either with a "U" bolt or an eye bolt using a
fluch rivot in the inside of the band.

Anyone have experience with such things or access to original pieces.

I thought maybe a lawn jocky sculpture, but that was way out of his budget.
