Custom Orders

Most of what we make is one of a kind. If you have an idea, a photo, or something you have seen and want in steel, we can almost certainly make it. The ute, the bike, the dog, a property name, a name and a date.

Nothing gets cut until you have seen the artwork and said yes. That is how we have done it since day one.

Tell us what you want made

Whatever you have is enough to start. There is nothing to pay to ask.

01 · Send us the idea

A photo, a drawing, or just a description

Whatever you have is enough to start. Let us know roughly what size you are after.

02 · We price it

A figure before you commit

You get the number up front, and there is no obligation either way.

03 · We draw it up

You see it before we cut

Nothing goes near the plasma until you have seen it and you are happy with it.

04 · We cut it

Usually within the week

We send a photo when it is finished. Then it is delivered, or you collect it from Gresford.

There is nothing to pay. The next screen confirms your details and sends the request through at $0.00, which is how your photo reaches us. You will get an email copy of what you sent, and we will come back with a price.

Questions we get asked

Before you ask

The ones that come up most. If yours isn't here, give us a ring. We'd rather have a chat than have you guessing.

Do you deliver?

Yes, right across Australia and to New Zealand. Smaller pieces go by parcel and the cost is worked out at the checkout. Anything too big for a box travels by freight. Get in touch and we'll quote it before you commit to anything.

Can I pick up?

Absolutely. We're at Gresford, New South Wales. Choose pick up at the checkout or give us a ring to arrange a time. You're welcome to have a look at what's made up while you're here.

Do you do custom designs?

That's most of what we do. Send us a photo or an idea and a rough size, and we'll give you a price. See our Custom Orders page for how it works.

Do I get to see it before you make it?

Always. We send you the artwork for every custom piece before anything is cut, without exception. Nothing goes near the plasma until you've approved it.

What steel do you use?

Mostly corten rusting steel, which weathers to a deep orange brown and lasts decades outdoors with no maintenance. Painted is the next most common, with a metal primer undercoat and two top coats of metal shield. A few budget garden pieces are cut from corrugated iron.

How long does it take?

Usually around a week for most pieces, sometimes as little as a day or two. Bigger or more detailed work takes longer and we'll tell you up front.
