Custom Metal Art by Jerry Kirby
Carrizo Springs, Texas is the county seat of Dimmitt County. Recently they have constructed a new complex that included a 5 foot diameter metal seal cut from 1/2" plate steel. Torchcraft was awarded the project. This is hand cut from the 1/2" plate steel and sent to a sand blaster / powder coating company for finish.
Torchcraft cuts most outdoor signs from 3/16-inch (7 gauge) new plate steel. Indoor signs may be cut from 1/8-inch steel. It's easy to see from the photo the difference in thickness of Torchcraft steel vs the "other guys". Most other artist cut from a flimsy 14 gauge steel such as the one pictured above that I picked up from a local art show. When you think about your metal sign, do you want one as thick as a paper clip or as thick as 4 dimes? Thats an 82% difference.
