Meet Hishwig — The Hunting Heron. 🪶

From raw steel to a character full of life, watch Hishwig take shape, one cut, bend and weld at a time.

Brought to life with the power and precision of ESAB’s Rustler welding machine, this is where craftsmanship meets creativity. Every detail is carefully fabricated by hand, transforming steel into a sculpture with real presence and personality.

Hishwig isn’t just a heron. He’s a hunter, a guardian and a statement piece. ⚒️

Want a statement sculpture of your own? Get in touch to discuss a bespoke creation, or share this with someone who’d love to have Hishwig standing in their garden!

“Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” ⚡️🔨

One of our favourite bespoke builds — Thor’s Hammer, made for a client in Scotland.

But this isn’t just a giant hammer…

🔥 It’s an outdoor fire, with the flames burning inside the head of the hammer
🔨 Tilted into position on a bespoke laser-cut steel plinth
🇬🇧 Handmade to order here in the UK and delivered to Scotland

We love projects like this because there really are no limits to what can be turned into an outdoor fire.

Got an idea you’ve always wanted made? A favourite character, symbol, vehicle, creature — or something completely unique?

Send us your idea. We’ll turn the concept into reality.

🧀 THE BIG CHEESE 🐭

I’m used to working on some pretty big projects, so this one was a bit of a test for me!

Meet The Big Cheese — a cheeky little mouse tucked inside a piece of steel cheese. Getting all that character and detail into such a small sculpture was a proper challenge, but we had a lot of fun with this one.

Built from steel and brought to life using the ESAB Rustler and Cutmaster 30+. Being able to quickly adjust the digital settings on both machines makes jumping between different materials, thicknesses and techniques so much easier.

Now the big question… who needs a cheeky little mouse keeping an eye on their cheese? 👀🧀

Fancy one of your own? Drop me a DM — handmade to order and completely made from scratch.
