Custom Metal Art by Jerry Kirby
Oil field service company in Dilley ask me to create a drilling rig scene for a wall in their office. The rig is 10 feet tall with a substructure of 15 feet wide. Complete with Christmas tree, flow line and tank battery. Everything is cut from 1/8" plate steel and painted black.
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.
