The beauty of repetition - The Gate

I picked up a couple of nice gates from a friend who was moving house. The only problem was that they were a little short for keeping our dog in.
 

Should be a simple fix for a blacksmith, just decide what should go on top.
 
Some leaves seemed just the ticket. Lots of good practice with hammer and anvil, shaping and lengthening pieces of 12mm bar.
 
 
A little bit of cheating with the drill stand and welder to set them in place.
 
 
Then some paint and a happy meeting with the latch made earlier (see previous post).
 
 
 
Sorry about the washing!
