A piece of Cherokee history getting a new home.

We’ve been working on a new custom steel display for the Cherokee Braves school bell—from plasma-cut details and hand-forged steel to the complete frame.

Still a work in progress. Next up is powder coat, final assembly, and installation at the school.

Built for the Braves. Built to last for centuries.

What We’ve Been Working On

Here’s a look at some of the projects that have come through the shop over the last few months. A little bit of everything — fabrication, repairs, machining, and custom work.

Always interesting to see what comes through the door next.
