Beyonce’s baby gets new cradle

Before you think we’ve gone all Heat magazine take a look at the photo here. Unless you have been tuning into Lorraine Kelly of a morning or Loose Women, you may or may not know that singing sensation and serial arse wobbler Beyonce has  gone and bought a wrought iron cradle for her sprog.

No doubt the celebrity magazines and red tops will be all over this and you can bet every wannabee footballers wife and Katie price impersonator will be after one for their little princes and princesses.

The victorian appearance makes it fairly simple to resemble using off the shelf components and I expect not beyond the skills of most fabricators. Something to think about for those quiet days in the workshop maybe, especially for you bed makers out there.

The GAGAs

The Galvanizers Association are currently inviting entries for the 2012 galvanizing awards. Six categories including Architectural, Detail, Sustainable, Engineering,  Duplex and a new award for this year International are up for grabs. Applications must be recieved before 20th April 2012 and the only criteria is that your project must have been completed after January 2010. A £3000 prize fund awaits as well as a galvanized watering can for the outright winner, how good will that look on the mantlepiece. All that’s required to enter is a few high quality photos and some background information on the project and you can enter online here http://www.galvanizing.org.uk/awards/welcome_to_gagas.

The Gate Post recommends that the background information doesn’t include any pieces of your project that were returned a different shape than when they went out, were sent out from the galvanizers to someone else or cut straight through your rigger gloves as soon as they were handled.
