Wine Barrel Wall

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:04:48 +0000

Ever looking for a unique was to display your wine?

Here we took actual wine barrels from southern California and modified them to serve as built in wine racks. The ones one the outside that retained the original top to the barrels were modified with hinges to allow them to be opened. The middle two, we removed the original top and replaced it with a wrought iron top that will allow you to see the inside of the barrel. We then used alder wood to make a custom herringbone pattern on the wall behind the barrels. Just another day of creating at JD Stairs!

Let us know what you want to create

Running Man

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:04:16 +0000

With a little help from Nevada Precision Sheet Metal, we created this Running Man Silhouette. This is a mini version of the 8′ wide by 16′ tall ones that we will be putting on the side of Bishop Gorman High School to accent their new athletic training center. The Silhouette is cut out if 1/8″ thick aluminum. The backer is also 1/8″ aluminum, but it is perforated with 1/2″ holes. The finished product will all be powder coated. It’s gonna be COOL!

Emu Egg Holder

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:03:47 +0000

Today, a most amazing project came into my office in the hands of one of our talented metal fabricators – an Emu

egg holder! Someone called and wanted such a critter and out in our magical iron shop, it was created. Fantabulous! One of those, “Hey look at this picture in this magazine, Can you do this?” Everything is possible.

Baby Gates

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:01:19 +0000

JD Stairs builds beautiful baby gates! (Of course, everything we do ends up beautiful). But, in the last month or so, we have turned out about 4 baby/doggie gates. The high end ones are custom made with posts and spindles to match your existing stair railing. We’ve created one less expensive one that was totally made out of metal. Here at JD Stairs, everything is possible.

Metal Stair Railing

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:00:25 +0000

One of the coolest things we do here at JD Stairs in make custom metal Handrails. We do this in many forms but this week I’m attaching a picture of one in the rough stage. This is a forged metal handrail design. That means that each one of the curls you see in this design has to be heated up until it is red hot. This makes the steel malleable enough to created the pointed ends and tight curls by beating it with a forgers hammer. Once the ends have been formed, we use various mold the curve the steel into the desired shape. Once we are all done welding and grinding all the steel smooth it will get a powder coated finish. You can see in the picture we are test fitting this handrail just before shipping it off the be powder coated.
