A shot before the final metal finishing. Then we are gonna patina the bronze with salt and vinegar to remove the shine and add some color. Eventually it will turn green/blue, these base colors will give the patina depth as it ages. Hopefully over time it will match the bell pretty closely.

These "trash cans" hold the pellets used in cancer treatment. The perforated sheet is .018" thick. The waste pellets are placed inside and the whole assembly is grouted.

Containment tubes for irradiated cobalt. The perforated sheet will hold the material in the center of the tube which will receive grout. This assembly will be placed into a large "can" and grouted again. The perforated sheet is .018" or 26 gauge stainless steel, thats about 4 and a half standard pieces of printing paper. It requires a steady hand and a good eye to stitch these tubes designed to hold 1 mm x 1mm pieces.

Challenging fabrications and custom solutions are where our heart is and where we thrive.
