Aluminum bracket repairs for a returning client - they tend to be at these things up pretty bad and the original production welds on this system had some issues when it comes to bead profile and joint prep so they failed at the weld.

I mechanically removed the old weld and oxidation, cut a good groove to lay weld into, and took special care to get a good bead profile and good stops and starts to prevent longitudinal cracking along the weld.

Ship's ladder metalwork is a wrap 👌👌👌

After a couple dry fits and a trip to the powdercoater this went in without too much of a fuss. The woodworker just needs to come in and mount the solid treads to the stringers. I'll come back for pictures when that's done!

Been working on this huge railing project, but the end is in sight!

Made for a massive remodel, this custom system was built for all the decks and staircases that connect them. This railing was designed to be powder coated and bolted together on-site.

Lots of jigs and measuring to get everything to fit right, long days and much time in FreeCAD, and so much production welding.

Just a bit more fabrication and powder coating and install, then we can call it a wrap! 🤙

This old road warrior limped into the shop in need of some major TLC. It's a storage and transportation rack for a railing system, done for a returning client.

I had to cut out the previous repairs to blown-out members and replace some other rotten metal. I tried to reincorporate as much metal and scraps as I could back into this project and had to use surprisingly little new metal ♻️

They needed it to be stronger, so I added a ton of extra cross-bracing so hopefully it won't blow up again any time soon!

I love jigs!

Been putting the new fixture clamps and Fireball squares to the test with this new railing project. Really comes in handy when repeatability and square is what you need!

Refreshing myself on some CAD skills! I've been working with CAD software on and off since I was in high school, but decided to dust off that skill set and get back to it. FreeCAD is a super helpful tool for general rendering, visualizing assemblies, cut lists, etc. It'll also come in handy for that future plasma cutting table or CNC mill(!)

It's a different software than what I learned on, but all the functionality is very similar. This is a rough model of a ship's ladder, based on on-site measurements. It ain't perfect, but I'm getting better all the time!

Headboard is done! 🙌

The mahogany tongue and groove was milled and installed on the frame by the carpenter, and high-end light fixtures/plugs were installed directly onto the headboard by the electrician.

Hoping to get some pictures of the space once the bed, nightstands, furniture, etc. is in place. So happy with the result.

Headboard is almost complete!

A lot of headaches on this one - sometimes you gotta suffer for your art 🫠

I stripped the mill scale off in a pattern using a belt sander. The clients were excited about the pattern left by the sanding on the center piece so I left that raw, and I applied the patina on the side/top pieces and then used a clear coat to seal it all.

Next the carpenter will finish the framing and T&G - it's gonna look sweet 😎

Hand-forged shower curtain rod installed! I'm in love with the combination of this hammered texture and cold-bluing.
