The Process for bespoke work

The process pursued is one that has remained unchanged for centuries, thereby maintaining traditional craftsmanship. As well as this, each new project is unique, exceptional and complimented by modern and contemporary ideals.

 

Stage One:

Initially, the designs are sketched allowing the artist to capture the client’s requirements whilst also adding effects and inspirational ideas.

The objects are hand-drawn to size thus allowing clients to see their project displayed life size before the actual making starts.

Stage Two:

The process of hot forging and shaping the steel. 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.

 

Stage Three:

Protecting and providing the finishing touches. 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, they are usually chosen by the client.

And Finally:

The final step is the delivery and installation of the finished work.
