Iron Bones

I nearly walked straight past it. You’re on the South Bank, dodging cyclists, and there’s this railway bridge overhead that most people treat as a ceiling to hurry under. But look up and the underside of Blackfriars Railway Bridge is a riot of riveted iron girders fanning out like the ribs of some enormous mechanical whale. I switched to black and white because the colour version was fighting the composition; stripping it back let the geometry do the talking.

These rivets are about the same age as my previous pictures, but give a completely different view. They are part of the swing bridge at Souburg, which is well maintained.

Detail from a #bascule #bridge that was once part of the Surrey Commercial Docks in #Rotherhithe S #London. It's very #red.

Old #wrought #iron door frame with new brackets. As I couldn't get any #rivets at short notice, I used a 15mm piece of a thick nail.
Then I #cold #forged them on both sides on the vice with a hammer.
The compression worked better than expected.

Very much enjoyed the FactorISM open factory event today at Kane-M, a factory in Osaka that makes buttons, rivets, eyelets, and other metal parts.
