Who Uses Metalcraft?
DIY Metal Work / Home improvement
Metalcraft is useful around the home and garden. It’s not just for
wrought iron projects. You can make brackets, clips, straps, special
fasteners and sort those tricky repair jobs around the house. For the
garden you can make fences, gates, trellis and supports for plants and
trees. Or you can make hooks, shelves and racking to keep your garage or
shed tidy… the list is endless.

A Craft Hobby
Metalcraft is a rewarding hobby if you enjoy making things. Many of our
customers are keen woodworkers or might have an interest in ceramics
that enjoy combining metal with wood or pottery. Some of our customers
have reached retirement and are simply looking for something new or
different to do.

A Start-up Business or Additional Income Generator
For some, what started as a hobby has turned into a business or
additional source of income, making bespoke wrought iron work or craft
objects to sell at local outlets, car boot sales or fetes. Many
adventurous customers invest in a Metalcraft workshop package, which is
quite literally a ‘Business in a Box’, and embark on a career change.

Education, Training and Rehabilitation
Metalcraft tools are sold extensively to schools, colleges and training centres.
They offer a low-cost, effective introduction to working with metal and
are extremely safe because they involve no heat, welding or fumes. The
tools allow students to quickly convert their design to finished
hand-made items, giving an instant sense of achievement.
Metalcraft
is also employed in higher education, vocational studies and in youth
and adult training centres. Not only does it develop metalworking and
engineering skills, but it also develops business and entrepreneurial
skills. Metalcraft is employed to great effect in the rehabilitation of
people in a diverse range of special schools, hospitals, charitable
organisations and even prisons.

Commercial Craft & Wrought Iron Making Businesses
Countless
businesses around the world use Metalcraft tools in the commercial
manufacture of products involving some element of wrought ironwork. Our
tools are used to make large scale products such as gates, fencing,
balustrades, furniture and security grilles. At the other end of the
scale, they are used to make smaller craft-related consumer products
like house signs, lighting and many other home and garden-related
products.
Small businesses involved in engineering, motor repairs,
maintenance and decorating are often asked if they can repair or make
gates and railings etc.
Metalcraft offers an opportunity to diversify and turn a skill into an additional money-making venture.

From fabrication
work to maintenance and specific component production we have many
