Artist's Statement
I started my career sweeping the floors of a welding shop in 1973. 1 was fascinated by the
processes and learned everything I could; in three years I was shop foreman. I decided to open
my own general services welding shop shortly thereafter. Since 1989 my concentration has
been on artistic applications. Dave Curry joined me in 1995. Dave is trained as an architect and
is a strong designer in his own right.
Our enthusiasm for what we do often carries our imaginations beyond the scope of the work.
When my team and I are involved in our design and fabrication processes, I am sometimes
reminded of comic book super heroes. It's the"Galactic Metal Sculpture League" in their secret
underground lair, forging an aesthetic path into new and fantastic realms and keeping the forces
of evil on the run. In all sincerity, it is our collective imaginations and skills that have taken our
work to the level it's at today. We are proof positive that the sum is greater than the individual
parts.
Our focus is on highly refined and well-crafted furniture for both public and private spaces,
public art, and architectural adornments; stairways, gates, light fixtures, hardware and fireplace
elements. Recent projects have taken us from the deserts of the Coachella Valley, to the
shores of Lake Michigan,to the San Francisco Peninsula.
In addition to our commitment to produce innovative work of the highest caliber,we feel it's
important to contribute back to our community. We contribute time, art pieces, and money to a
variety of causes. We also practice our craft with a vigorous eye towards environmental
responsibility. Our work, to be called successful, must be a source of enrichment and joy for
everyone who comes in contact with it.
Thank you for your interest!
Allen Root

This is what we are about...
INNOVATIVE DESIGN
Our designs are distinctive, unique and versatile. Our collaborative vision acts as a springboard
enabling a project to perfectly ft the client's image or expectation.
DURABILITY
The life of all of our products can be measured in decades, not weeks or years. From the
weight of the stocks used, to the finishes chosen, to the assembly and installation, choices are
made with consideration of the product's lifespan. We take responsibility for those choices and
stand behind our products.
GOOD VALUE
We ALWAYS deliver more to our clients than was bargained for.
This concept is independent of the work's price level.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
A high level of attention is paid to details, dimensions,finishing and presentation during all
phases of the project. We always deliver a product that we can be proud of.
EARTH RESPONSIBILITY
We choose our materials and processes with consideration for our impact on humanity and the
environment. We refuse to build throw-away items. Therefore, it important that our products
continue to function well through a long lifespan. We dispose of hazardous materials
responsibly. We contribute back to our community.
EXECUTION
We produce our product in a timely manner,taking into account the inherent variable nature of
custom work. Our goal is to keep within scheduling parameters at all times. We hold
communication with our clients during the course of the job as a vital part of the job's success.
We operate in a dean and safe manner and take responsibility for our clients and their property
at all times during the course of our job.
ENRICHMENT
For our work to be a true success, it must enrich everyone that comes in contact with it. A
desirable, legitimate end never justifies some unsavory or destructive means. To paraphrase a
good friend of mine, "if it ain't fun, forget it."
"Worts is love made visible" Kahlil Gibran
