Railing Weekend - 1

My weekend working with Dan (Black Iron Forge) and Derrick Bliss (Hot Fire Forge) on a custom made exterior railing. Don't try this at home.

Railings

Measured a set of interior railings with a handrail last night. Replacing the dated wood with custom iron that is going to enhance this beautiful contemporary house. Stay tuned...

Handrails

Well, the jobs are trickling in from our presence at the Lansing Home & Garden show. Handrails... straight and curved, simple and beautiful. Other leads are developing too, so stay tuned.

Awards

In addition to creating the Valentine lily that weekend, I knocked out three more awards... taking over the dinner table one night to finish them. Lots of drilling holes and grinding, but the end product always makes it worth it!

Valentines for the lady(s)

Valentine for the lady(s) in my life. My wife is the beautiful lily in full bloom, and the buds are the daughters she gave me. Love em all!
[More pics soon]

We make key fobs too

Here is the final result. Two key fobs included. Pretty snazzy, huh?

Customer Testimony

Lots of social media action around the trophies I made for the CATA Come Clean Duathlon yesterday. In case you didn't see, don't miss out! They came out beautifully...

Custom Made Trophies

For your viewing pleasure, here are more pics of the trophies - including several promo/teaser photos before the event. I really enjoyed this project...

Cast bell restoration

A client had a cast bell and yoke of sentimental value, but it was missing the cradle and handle. I designed and created this one to match the bell size and the look of the yoke. I will have to see about a photo of it installed...

We are glad Lansing Art Gallery likes the sign

woo-hoo! My friends at the Lansing Art Gallery are showing off their new sign. Looks sharp with the lettering in place. Thanks, Ladies.

Lansing Art Gallery project

As promised, here's another project... delivered to the happy ladies of the Lansing Art Gallery. This sidewalk sign can easily be moved indoors/outdoors, and won't blow over in the gusty downtown corridor. It came with aluminum panels that will become various signs stuck up with magnets - interchangeable for that special event...

Borg cube

Custom made for a star trek fan to put in her office cubicle. .... this is the finished Borg cube, with a new paint job and a hook to hang from. Looks good flying through cubicle country...
