From a simple lawnmower or snowblower repair to deck and pool railing and staircase handrail for both inside and outside of the home. Ornamental work is also provided including custom CNC plasma cut designed furniture, handrail inserts, log holders, fireplace screens, etc.
This fabricated solid 1 piece Fireplace Screen w/ custom welded buttons is from a residential home accessories project we completed for a homeowner in Illinois. The customer supplied us with the measurements so we could fabricate the fireplace screen for an exact fit in their home. For the custom diamond shape we used our CNC Plasma Cutter creating the pattern out of 1 solid piece of metal. We also added some custom welded buttons to the fireplace screen design.

Unique Touch: Quatrefoil design
You’re probably wondering the same thing that we did when this homeowner requested a “quatrefoil” design…what’s quatrefoil? The technical definition is “an ornamental design of four lobes or leaves as used in architectural tracery, resembling a flower or four-leaf clover.” In other words, the predominant design used in the railings and support gussets as seen in the pictures below.
We have to thank our friends over at Thelen Total Construction in Elkhorn, WI. They called us immediately after the homeowner asked for railings with a quatrefoil design. We drove out to meet them and the homeowner at the house, came up with a design plan that the homeowner loved, and got to work! We are particularly proud of the curved railing in the first picture that was fabricated in shop using our tubing roller. To help save time and money, we installed each railing (just like we always do!). We even took the time to install stainless steel hinges and fill in some gaps on this metal gate to bring it up to code.
