UV Metal Arts

UV Metal Arts Custom Metal Fabrication - Specializing in MIG, TIG welding & forge work. It is owned and operated by Yuval “UV” Awazu.

UV Metal Arts is a custom metal fabrication shop founded in 2003 (or “job shop”) and is located in Columbia, Missouri. As can be seen in the image galleries, there is a great variety of work that UV is capable of producing. UV’s passionate involvement in metal working started at the turn on the millennium in Chicago with the custom building of bicycle frames. Bicycle frame building organically evo

lved into a metal fabrication business due to the needs of fellow artists, architects, contractors, and business and home owners. A notable relationship was made at the beginning of the great recession with Icon Modern, a design company supplying Starbucks (Mid-West division) with custom made furniture for their upper tier locations. This allowed for the expansion of the shop and the hiring of employees. UV’s business and family moved to Columbia, MO in 2012, which brought a new opportunity as an apprentice with the master, artist-blacksmith, and fabricator, Don Asbee, of Hartsburg, MO. Blacksmithing has expanded the “vocabulary” that UV uses to communicate through his metal work. You will find UV friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to your project needs.

Getting on my seasonal offerings of giardiniera while it's hot! It's the perfect gift for someone who has everything but has a burning desire for more spice in their life. $8 for a pint (great stocking stuffer) $15 for a quart (the perfect wrapped gift). It doesn't have to be refrigerated until opened.

Please share with designers, architects, makers, etc. Thanks!
