Our shop is set up to create small and large scale projects, custom one-off and short run production. Freehand Metalworks uses traditional techniques mixed with cutting edge technologies to produce bespoke exceptional work. We use our proprietary finishing techniques to push the boundaries of what is possible with metal items. We create anything desired from furniture and lighting to architectural installations. We like to be challenged in our projects and ask our clients to push what they think is possible.
We design all types of products. Whether it be a partition wall, a mechanical component, lighting etc. we have experience in all phases of design, creation and installation. Projects can start at any stage, a classic napkin sketch, an inspiration image or just an idea. We springboard ideas into fully flushed out designs and create an exact working model of the concept. Freehand uses cutting edge software to analyze all aspects of a design and can answer any open questions. We can determine weight and balance points, packaging and transport procedures, F.E.A stress analysis and flow dynamics. We produce shop drawings and a production package ready for us and our vendors to build a high quality product.
Freehand uses a mix of traditional techniques with new technologies to fabricate a product that meets every customers needs. We take a manufacturers approach but have the diversity of a job shop producing products that have the precision of an OEM and the character of a blacksmith. Each product is made with intent. We approach every project thinking about technique first. We use manual tools when needed and CNC when appropriate. We know when to be precise and know when to work quickly to complete the work one time, within budget and to the quality desired.
