Comet is built entirely of reclaimed steel. It’s comprised of a 50 gallon drum lid clamp, pipe, rebar, strap, expanded mesh, perforated steel, diamond plate and industrial drops. It sits on a base made from a disc brake.

jack stand table

July 8, 2015 by indiometalarts Leave a comment

These jack stands were donated by a friend who wanted me to transform them into something new. “Surprise me, make anything”, she said.

They bring back fond memories of camping with her grandfather since they were used to set the camper on for every summer family camping trip.

The vinatge label reads ‘Camper Jack: Grants Pass, Oregon’.

The steel top is trimmed with stainless cable.

lanterns for evening atmosphere

July 3, 2015 by indiometalarts Leave a comment

Whether you have a castle or a cottage, these lanterns will provide the atmosphere. They are made with scrap steel and are one-of-a-kind pieces.

The tall shade slides up over the low profile handle to access the candle platform. Its perforated steel gives the light a hypnotizing pixel effect. The wide lantern loads from the top and comes with a recessed handle. The exterior pattern on each was a 2D panel that I cut down and reassembled into a 3D cube.

kinetic orbit

ORBIT. This piece has many views. You can spin it around to find your favorite. There are five hoops that envelope a solid disc. The largest hoop of diamond plate overlaps underneath like a bow. The 1′ x 2′ base of 1/2″ rebar rod secures it into the ground.
