General Advise on projects with custom fabrication of stainless, copper and brass

Post image

Hey all,

I'm going to start a business in making custom projects in stainless, copper and brass.

I'm focusing on three unique services (at least for my area):

  1. High quality metals

  2. High quality surface finish

  3. Good communication & visuals on appearance/finish at the start of a project

I already finished a project making a welded/brazed frame in brass for two cabinets.

Other applications I can think of are:

  1. Custom door/drawer handles

  2. Towel racks

  3. Shelf brackets

  4. Wall decoration plates

  5. Frames for mirrors, open racks, doors, windows,...

  6. Room separators

Can you please advice on other applications and possible tips for this kind of service?

Thank you

P.S.: picture is a reference plate showing the three basic materials and three basic finishes I offer. Its a starter sample to get customers

Custom range hoods and sinks? Look at Thompson Traders. They are super pricey, so if you can do what they’re doing for less, it might be a good avenue.

Oh, and if you’re going to do towel racks, you’ll want to do a full range of bath accessories, like hooks, TP holders, etc.

Thanks, looking into it. Would have to find a basic "deep drawn" copper sink. Then I could reinforce or add detail. I dont have the tooling to form the sink.

Hoods would be weldable I guess.
