‘Those who can, do!’ When it comes to Wrought Iron we are constantly asked if we have a catalog to choose from…as a heads up, this is an option for things made off shore mostly by mass numbers… it does massively simplify options if you are not sure what you like or even what will match the aesthetic of your project.
We do not have a catalog as everything is individually made from scratch by hand to suit your needs - from our point of view (and also on behalf of all of the other people creating real custom metalwork by hand) it is so much simpler to design and build from a clean slate!

When you have the skills and the team to create anything - you can create literally ANYTHING! 😀 (this relates to not only metalworking but any skilled trade or craft ☺️🙏)

Reach out or bring any of us an idea, photo, sketch, some small detail you seen and liked on the internet and it is easy to create unique designs from that that suit you and like a piece of original art, one of a kind that only you possess!

We so regularly get asked about finishes, obviously our stainless options are the most popular architecturally but rust actually comes in so commonly. This was for a project in the back streets of Collingwood - old factories sub divided and made into jaw dropping domestic spaces with complete private roof gardens - accessible from backstreet lanes, With security in the forefront of their minds but wanting to stand out from the crowd with an original aesthetic this is what we designed and created!
Very pleased with the outcome 😀👌.

A straight forward and simple balustrade as a favor to help out a friend’s elderly mother, due to a horrifically executed original one becoming a serious risk - her bedroom door had to be sealed to prevent any access to the balcony she loved so much… 😲 extremely simple but with subtle touches and painted to match the property she is now free to enjoy the space again, cups of tea and waving to the neighbors 😀🙏☺️.

Back at the Melbourne CFMEU headquarters to deliver another item adding to the aesthetically amazing space - taking a few minutes to take in the memorial sculpture we were honored to be asked by to design and create remembering the losses of the devastating collapse during the West Gate Bridge construction - The literal blood, sweat and tears whilst creating this a few years back now are fond memories! 😃🙏.

Boardroom table, 12mm bronze glass, our ‘medium bronze’ heat treatment on stainless base, adjustable feet laser leveled perfectly!
So great to see these coming back after what felt like endless zoom conferences through and coming out of the pandemic!

Our proprietary heat treated stainless steel finish in the sought after ‘dark bronze’ supplying shower screens, door, cavity slider and window surround cladding, designs by .rossi.98 and working for to help them out with these items last minute, a pleasure dealing with Jye and his team - highly skilled tradies that understand every aspect and the quality and skills needed (these guy’s are untouchable in their work ethic, no exceptions, no playing around, head down and just keep at it until the job is done AND done on point! 😲👌) what an impressive final outcome!

Overhead kitchen / island bar shelving and feature firebox / entertainment / shelving unit on top of a fluted stone base with a hand made top shroud against the ceiling.

Solid 8mm steel plate design for some wonderful clients powder coated in satin black.

All concept designs by - great vision, quality and easy relationship.

We also convinced original company founder (waaaayyyy back in the early nineteen hundred and eighties! 😂🫣😀 - five decades strong and we’re still going!) Kevin to come and help us out as we were so swamped with commissions (and didn’t want to let the clients down after they had been left high and dry) putting on his gloves again and wading in to sort all the shop drawings and construction (thanks Kev! 😃🙏) installation and logistics - all turning out millimeter perfect! 👌

When someone says ‘I can do it cheaper!’ 🤣🫣😬.

You would be amazed at the volume of projects we get asked to “fix” or redo that are even sometimes beyond saving!

Shout out to all our brotherhood of steel workers, blacksmiths, tradies, anyone that gets hands on with pride in their blood sweat and tears! 🙏😀.
Quality workmanship by hand is chalk and cheese when put side by side.
There are potentially huge savings to be had by ordering budget import items and understandably premium high end options are not in most budgets - but have an honest chat with the trades you are reaching out to, you might be surprised how many honest skilled teams out there will work hard to design with quality what you are after working with your budget, and you will support Australian made and owned companies, their employees and families. 😃🙏👌
