Hi, as many of you already know I own and operate a small business here at my home called D.C. Metal Designs ( http://dcmetaldesigns.com/ ) we specialize in hand crafted reproduction iron and brass hardware for a company called Horton Brasses ( http://www.horton-brasses.com/ ) and we also make hand forged metal art, furniture, jewelry and many other custom items from metal. A few years back I had a really nice surprise when I seen some of my hardware being used by Norm Abram on the television show The New Yankee Workshop. Well here is another surprise and a great honor for me to see some of my custom brass trunk hardware being used on a piece of furniture that is featured on the cover of the August 2012 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. http://www.shopwoodworking.com/popular-woodworking-august-2012?lid=pwtnhome061812 If you get the opportunity to read the article please do it is very interesting. I cant wait to see where some of my work will show up next
Our hairpin table legs make it easy for anyone to create a piece of furniture from reclaimed or recycled items, just pick your favorite piece and mount our legs to it and you will have a unique and a one of a kind piece of furniture that you can enjoy for years.
Table #2 and Table #3 are done and ready to get sand blasted, When I get them back they will get a rust color powder coat finish and I will post more pictures when they are finished.
Check out this great article in Horton Brasses Weblog that my name and also my Etsy shop was mentioned in, please take time to read it its very interesting.
