DesignForgeFab Design.Forge.Fab - artistic forging and fabrication About Us:

We were born. We began taking things apart to see how they worked. Then, we began making things.

They were rarely put back together. We rarely finished them. We turned 6 years old and got tools. We

began - occasionally - to finish what we began. We grew up, we made

music, we made words, we made houses, we made guitars. Now we make things from metal. The metal says "no" and we say "yes." There's fire, so that's awesome. Everything is hot, heavy, or sharp

- sometimes all at once. It's hard to do and it lasts a long time. It is our barbaric yawp

against the temporariness of everything.

TBT my I-beam Table - in process 12 years ago, and in my living room today. Designed on a flight SEA-EWR; executed soon therafter.

I machined & bolted it together, then eventually bent the legs down & riveted together.
I wonder how many went into these bends?

The 4-post was a big help!

I happened into some model rocket kits a while back, and gave them to a precocious young man. I think he's 8 or 9. He brought his parents to the shop to pick them up.

Obviously he's polite too - I got this in the mail a week or so later.

Finally got to see the faregates I made a couple years ago for . These are at the end of the line at . and and I welded up the internal structure from jet-cut parts, Creoworks did the design and brought the whole thing together with sand-cast aluminum housing for the vibe that matches the monorail trains.

I haven't seen them since they left my shop!

Take a monorail ride to see or the Space Needle or or a concert .

I take a fair number of pictures to capture information - a measurement, a configuration, a sample, a layout, a circuit. Sometimes that ends up being an image that appeals to me because of the composition. This is one of those.

I just dropped off the sign a week ago, but that's kinda beside the point because the point is fantastic pizza.

Go get some! You'll eventually be able to phone & etc orders but for now you need to go down there and meet real people.
