Fabrication & Finishing Processes
- Brazing, heating, forming, rolling and pounding.
- CNC Plasma and water jet cutting.
- Power Hammer and metal texturizing.
- Creating living Patina finishes by applying a variety of acids that create reactions with the material and produce variety of organic shades and colors: bronze, verdigris, and blues, being the foundations.
- Clear coating and sealing all living patina finishes to preserve the finish and allow the patina process to continue in a subtle natural way.
- Industrial Sandblasting and Powder Coating on steel, stainless steel and aluminum fabrications.
