Bespoke Work
Initially, all designs are hand drawn allowing the artist to capture the
client’s requirements whilst also adding
effects and inspirational ideas.
Once
the design is finalized the project is drawn
to full size thus allowing clients to see
their project displayed life size before the
actual making starts.
The process of hot
forging and shaping the steel begins. This
often involves spreading, bending,
tapering, splitting, hot punching,
thickening (known as upsetting), riveting
and fire welding (a process of joining
pieces of white hot metal together.) After
all the component parts have been made,
final assembly then takes place.
Protecting and providing the finishing
touches
offer longevity for the artwork.
If the work is for interior use, it
can be wire brushed, lacquered and waxed, or
painted. For Extra protection and durability
of exterior work, the process of hot dip
galvanizing is applied. This protects the
surface for a minimum of 20 years. As well
as this a coat of primer and then the final
colours are applied, these are usually
chosen by the client.
The final step
is the delivery and installation of the
finished project.
