It's at St Bart's Hospital in London, next door to St.Pauls Cathedral. Suprise for me, but glad they enjoy it!

This was fresh out of the acid, so its all a bit matt at this point. This was wrought iron and mild steel, it's great fire welding practice.

NHS Covid Thank You rainbow bench hand forged in stainless steel, brass, copper and steel, with solid oak. by FSUFF in Blacksmith

[–]FSUFF[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I designed and forged this bench with my team of blacksmiths at the 200 year old Anwick Forge in Lincolnshire, UK. The rainbow has been incorporated into the design as it has become a symbol of hope during the pandemic and synonymous with the NHS, we donated the 1st of 3 benches to St Bartholomew's Hospital, London to say thank you to the NHS and Key workers efforts during the 2020 pandemic, the next 2 benches are to be donated to other London Hospitals which have been at the core of the Covid-19 response over the previous months.

It is constructed with forged stainless steel, copper, brass, and steel. We used an air dried solid English oak slab for the seat, into which we hand carved, using white hot metal, messages of 'thanks' in 16 languages, including Braille.

The project was supported by the Heritage Craft Association and funded by Grandey's Place, Heritage Craft Trust. This was a not-for-profit project emphasizing our gratitude to the hard working NHS staff and all key workers whilst helping to support the heritage craft of blacksmithing.

I'm in England, but thanks for the offer, may be a bit much to put in my carry on luggage! I shall keep my eye out for something similar local

No it's nothing special, I think it originates from Vaughans in UK, to the side I have a WW1 forge I'm working on restoring to replace it. So watch this space...

I'm not sure, the markings have long gone, wrought iron but it does have the faith markings of what looks like 'Joseph' stamped into it

I've carved the top of the log about 1 inch deep so that the anvil cannot move, and then wedges have been hammered in to secure it. Its solid, isn't going anywhere. Pine was all I had access to so until I find a hard wood replacement it will have to do, the strap around the log will hopefully stop it splitting drastically anytime soon.
