1. Make the big, thick collar wrap completely over the strut.
2. Add a ring and collar decoration on the stem that holds the wiring.
3. Give us a couple more places for screws to attach to walls.
So, the job is on the table, and we've started fabrication on (4) of these brackets.
It starts with a chalk drawing on the work table.
Then, some rolling - no need for heat this time.
All cold forged. We don't use much motorized equipment. Mainly muscle and finesse. This is a photo of a jig we've built for the project, and that's Luis using a "greefa" (Spanglish) or counterweight to make the roll.
Planning is key....all pieces are measured, cut and labeled. It's not Ford Motor Company, but it is an assembly line of sorts.
We had a big week preparing new quotes for projects.Maybe things are picking up. For us, it's a luxury to present a design, have it reviewed immediately, get the deposit and be released within a week, and be able to jump right on the project. In years past, we wouldn't get started for another week, or two. So, this feels healthy.
In other news, Chepo represented us at a trade show. He made this forged iron entry table and used it to display his business cards and pamphlets.
If you click to enlarge the photo, the details will show.
We'll probably use it at our house.
If so, the leaves gotta go.
Agreed?
