Sculptural Wine Rack w/ hidden nooks

A client in Colorado requested a sculptural wine rack that did not look like a wine rack. He came to me with photos of his house and where he would like to install it, as well as images of other sculptures. I came up with this design and slowly pieced together stock of different lengths […]

10 ton coat rack

Using small, hand-drilled and ground steel “nubs” and some fence slats that came from the house at which it is hung, I made an old street sign into a coat rack.

Side Table

For my daughters’ school auction, I created a low side table (22″ tall). Using tubing for the legs to reduce the overall weight of the table, I curved steel in a jig to give the small, rigid table the illusion of movement and flow. Then I incorporated rivets to provide some classic blacksmithing style to […]

Kitchen

Drawer and cabinet pulls are the jewelery of the kitchen. Whether you would like to tug on matching pieces or abstract, unique shapes, iron lends itself well to the kitchen. These pictures show many different shapes, sizes, and pattern options. As they age, the iron develops a natural patina.

Bathroom Hardware

Towel rods and hand towel holders, toilet paper holders, shower rods, and vanities, metal has a place in the bathroom. It can add visual heft to white porcelain using a dark wax finish, or shine in chrome, bronze or copper.

Shower Curtain Rods

Since this job, I have made two more rods for different corner tubs to maximize the interior space of the shower, because no one enjoys a cold shower curtain […]

Shelf Installation

The client asked for a small shelf that he could put his many methods of producing coffee above his espresso machine. I suggested a “live” edge thick shelf with simple angle iron hardware. Metal Finish: Renaissance Wax Wood Finish: Vermont Natural Coatings

Bathroom Vanity

In partnership with a contractor who was remodeling a bathroom, I forged and fabricated a vanity to support their sink. The client requested traditional twists, a shelf for folded towels or a bin of bathroom oddities and a side bar for a hand towel.
