Christian Lewis: Wrought Iron





Some candid shop photos of a couple projects done in hand wrought iron. The process has not changed much from the days of blacksmithing, the iron is heated to about 1100 degrees and hammered, twisted or bent into the desired shape. These projects are incredibly time consuming and become quite expensive. Hope you enjoy and thanks for your visit to MetalGraphic.

Christian Lewis: Robert F. Kennedy Inspiration Park




Here are a couple finished photos of the signage and final touch of the Robert F. Kennedy Inspiration Park that was completed in collaboration with Nite-Lite Signs. The letters are 12" high, 3/4" thick, brushed and clear coated, structural grade aluminum. They were installed onto galvanized ferrous metal brackets that were welded individually onto to a 6" o.d. horizontal carrier. We shop assembled the entire lay-out to maintain a single plane, jigged them up and field welded the letters onto the horizontal pipe.
Many thanks for visiting MetalGraphic...........
