This poster was done many years before “The Lord of the Rings” movies were made, so the characters weren’t as clearly defined at this time. This frame was made of all flat, mild steel which I torch cut and bent into the shape needed. I then rough welded the pieces together and covered the entire frame with spot welds. I’ve left the finish to rust over time.

For this frame I’ve used flat, mild steel, cut to size with a torch and rough welded together. I’ve added some flattened copper pipe, hand hammered and bent, over both left and right edges. These are held in place with welded steel bands. I then added some wrought iron fence elements to complete the frame.

I’ve taken lengths of flattened copper pipe, cut and bent them to the desired shape, staggered them over each other around the frame, and rough soldered them into place over a wooden frame. I then went over all the copper with wire wheels and scotch pads.
