Candle Holders & Trivets
These are some of the different styles of candle holders and trivets that I make. I start out with new steel stock from the mill. I make all of the bends by hand and weld the pieces together. Finally I apply various coatings and paints.
Security Grills & Ornamental Iron Work
I make security grills of all shapes and sizes, plain or ornate. Pictured below is a window grill I custom made for a garden shed.
This
security grill was custom made for a garden shed window. The
client requested something that would not evoke the feeling of a prison
but still offer intrusion deterrence. As requested the grill was
designed to mount on the inside while still allowing the window to be
opened for ventilation.
This grill was fabricated from steel. All
of the bends and scrolls are hand formed. It is fully tig welded
(GTAW). Alkyd enamel primer and paint were chosen for durability and
color options. This grill was painted completely by hand to allow for
detailing of the flowers and vines. Click on images for greater detail.
Sculptures
"Balance"
"Balance"
Stones were arranged to the point of a precarious balance. To make this position permanent the stones were cored and fitted with a fabricated steel spine.
Materials : natural stone, mild steel
“Little Engine”
Locomotive / Train sculpture. The perfect size for a small shelf nook or office desk, this small assemblage sculpture measures about four inches long (100mm). It is made from recycled stainless steel. The pieces of the sculpture are joined by gas tungsten arc welds (gtaw “tig welded”)
Material: stainless steel
