The clock doesn't stop nor does the work just because it reads 5pm. Come work with me in the shop while Ernie burns out the pit getting the next design ready.

A little business update...

Due to a misunderstanding during the upgrade process for our landline service, we unexpectedly lost our longtime business phone number. Moving forward, please reach us on our cell phones until we have a new dedicated business number in place. We'll be announcing that number soon!

We're definitely a little sad to see Ernie's childhood phone number go after all these years. It was more than just a phone number—it carried a lot of memories and history with it. While it's tough to say goodbye, we're choosing to focus on the future and all the exciting things ahead rather than dwell on what we've lost.

Thank you all for your patience and continued support, Kati and Ernie

There’s something powerful about how you choose to end your day.
No matter how busy things get, I try to make sure I finish by doing something I genuinely enjoy—something that reminds me why I love what I do in the first place.
Yesterday, that meant putting on the helmet, getting low, and laying clean rows of dimes to finish up a base for a fire pit we’re building.
There’s a different kind of satisfaction in that moment. Focused. Quiet. Intentional. Watching something come together with your own hands.
It’s easy to get caught up in deadlines, logistics, and everything else that comes with the job. But ending the day with something you love doing? That’s what keeps the passion alive.

And this is why it’s all worth it 🔥
We got the first night photo of the fire pit globe lit up, and it completely brings the whole piece to life. Seeing those designs we spent weeks on—every cut, every weld—glowing the way they were meant to… that’s the moment right there.
Doesn’t get much better than that.Appreciate the opportunity to create something this unique and see it being enjoyed already.

After several weeks of designing, drawing, cutting, and welding… this one finally came to life 🔥

Delivered this custom fire pit globe today, and it’s one of those pieces that reminds us why we love what we do.

Every detail was thought through—from the custom design built into the top to the added centerpiece that really brings it all together.There’s something about seeing an idea go from a sketch to steel, then watching it head off to its new home.
Appreciate everyone who supports our work—it never goes unnoticed.

There’s something absolutely wild about color‑changing powders 🔥
You lay down that first coat thinking you’re getting a bold color… but when it comes out of the oven, it’s silver.

Every single time it messes with your head a little.Then comes the fun part — hit it with a clear coat, slide it back in for the second bake, and boom. The color comes alive right before your eyes.

It’s like watching chemistry and creativity collide.

That’s the magic of powder coating — every piece tells a story, and sometimes, the best part’s hidden until the very end. ✨🎨
