Works Great!

Hand Crafted Metal Lighting Fixtures

Here are some examples of custom metal lighting we have made for clients. These light fixtures are hand forged in our shop in West Oakland Ca.

We also have experience with LED lighting combined with old world ironwork. This combination is economical to run, gives off a wide spectrum of lighting colors and can still fit in with Old World styles.

Contact me if your interested in a quote or have an idea of what your after.

Hand Forged Lighting fixture

Back to Custom Lighting

We just finished and installed this wonderful hand forged light fixture in a private home. It looked great installed and really completes the already great patio area. These blacksmith light fixtures are hand made in our shop by Hino and I. I start with the client’s napkin drawing, photo, or drawing of what they’re after, offer them different textures, then make a site visit to get the scale and feel of the room so the fixture will work with it.

We have been doing a lot of custom metal ceiling light fixtures for homes lately.  I will start posting pictures as I get them photographed.

The Photo Fire Booth!

Photo Fire Booth

Thanks to everyone who dared to enter!

This was a big hit at the party this weekend. I’m looking forward to using it at more events. The fire photo booth is a back drop of fire and a fire ball for a flash! It warms the subjects and bathes them in a natural glow. Thanks to Dave and Tackett for helping built this and run it all night!

Thanks!

What a night! I will post the Fire Photo Booth picture once I get them all down loaded. Keep checking back.

On my way back to the shop now to clean up. I had such a great time, I never picked up my camera. Please send me photos if you took them ASAP. It’s so enjoyable to have such great play mates! Alan, Christopher, Lauren, Tansy, Tackett…… You guys really made it possible to have such talented dancers strut their stuff and make us smile…Thanks!

Here’s a great comment I found on my site this morning:

Visiting one of these events is not only a memorable lifetime experience but you will be helping a gifted artistic couple keep their flame burning. A large eclectic following is developing so no doubt anyone joining their troupe will later be able to say “I knew them when they were just starting out.” The party on December 13th requires a whole long list of words to just begin to describe it. Here are a few: Eclectic, fascinating, retro, artistic, enthusiastic, imaginative, fun, and dusty. Where else can you find a vaudeville show in a welding shop in the ominous and shady part of town? There’s nothing else like it. Best Wishes-Dusty Rhodes

And this from Christopher that is too funny for words:

The Stupendous Boiler Bar Holiday Party Dec 13th

Benefit for the Golden Mean

Our Halloween party went so well we decided to host a Holiday party this year. We will have some amazing talent on stage including but not limited to:

The crew is putting together a few new surprises including the shocking new Acme photo booth with a flash of fire, Electrical shock and bubbles to capture those special moments of life.

Homemade Fig Jam

The rains a few weeks ago came at just the right time for our last fig crop of the year making them nice and plump. Conveniently the biggest branch, well out of reach and covered with figs, snapped in the rain giving us figs galore right at our feet! Zolie and I picked them and cut firewood Sunday and started making Jam early Monday morning. After getting things started, Zolie got Kyrsten up to speed so I could get to work. While I was gone the two of them reduced the mix down to very nice jam, canned it and even made beautiful labels. We tried out the new fig jam this morning on pancakes with the homemade butter we made a few weeks back. Yum! Apple butter is next!

Make Magazine’s story about the Golden Mean

The Golden Mean

A good friend of mine at Boing Boing, David Pescovitz wrote this great article for Make Magazine about the giant snail Kyrsten and I made.

Thanks to our wonderful friends who made it possible to make this artful creature come alive.
