I created this grate design for
Slaysman Forge. Randy's client wanted a custom grate for duct covers. Randy had the design
cut by water jet because a plasma cutter could not hold all of this detail.
Using
Adobe Illustrator, I drew vector elements similar to Randy's forged scrolls. I designed a symmetrical layout that melded with the clients classic decor. I also designed a "W" - the clients surname, that was integrated into the center of the piece.
The final file was converted into the CAD friendly .dxf format. The water jet cutter took the dxf file and fed it into their
CNC machine. Randy finished up by "ramping" the edges and powder coating the cut pieces. The final grate is a custom hand-crafted heirloom that will last more than a few generations.
I'm working on a new sign for Bertha's Mussels in Fells Point. Here are 2 potential sketches. They are designed to be built with distressed wood and fatigued metal. Details will be carved in wood and cut from sheet steel. Color renderings will be uploaded soon...
I made this for my daughter "SOPHIE". I sketched the letters on a piece of Ash wood and used a jigsaw and drill to cut them out. I'll be uploading the prints I made for her room soon. I actually like the stencil better than the prints...
