Aluminum Patina

Making aluminum rust.

Bigger is better

Stage 3. Project complete

Traditional Sign

The crane is almost complete. The text portion of the sign was hung last week. Team metal of Scathain personaly installed the sign to ensure perfection. Kate and Chris dominated against sub zero temps and harsh winds.
I hope to get the cog/logo portion finished sometime this week.

Fancy Beer Cooler patina

Beer cooler for bar

Pizza Man chandelier

This was one of the first projects that I was given creative freedom with the finishing. I wanted the bottle rack to look like it was salvaged from the ashes from the original Pizza Man location.
Its such an honor to work with an object that is so beautifully crafted and designed. We truly have the best resident black smyth at Scathain. Each day I learn something new.

Something Wonderful.

Gantry Patina

I was given the challenge of working on a gantry crane that is over 100 years old.
The crane was salvaged from a foundry in Beloit Wisconsin. It now stands at a local hotel.
The crane was finished through. A traditional patina process.
