  • Absolutely. Everything we make is custom-built — whether you’ve got a sketch, a concept, or just a weird idea you want to see in steel. We’ll work with you to bring it to life. Reach out to Leif to get started!

  • Prices vary depending on size, complexity, and material. Once we know what you're looking for, we’ll provide a rough estimate. Transparent pricing is part of how we work.

    Our pricing is based on:

    • $60/hour for design time

    • $100/hour for shop time

    • Plus the cost of materials

    Here are a few ballpark examples:

    • Large mushroom lantern → $3,000

    • Small mushroom lantern → $280

    • Floral Wall art piece → $225

    Once we know more about what you're looking for, we’ll provide a rough estimate so you can decide what fits your vision and budget.

  • Head over to the Contact Page and fill out the form with your idea. The more details you can give us (style, purpose, rough size), the better. We’ll follow up with the next steps from there.

  • Primarily steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. If you're not sure what material is right, we can help you decide based on the look, location (indoor/outdoor), and purpose of your piece.

  • Yes! We’re based in London, Ontario and can ship projects anywhere in Canada. Local pickup is also available by request.

  • Most builds take 2–6 weeks, depending on the scope and how full the shop is. If you’re working with a deadline, let us know — we’ll do our best to make it happen.

  • That’s kind of our thing. If you want something like a steel lantern, mailbox, or furniture piece that serves a purpose and looks like a work of art — you’re in the right place.
