See How Our Clients Are Using Our Designs - Part 2

It is always a joy to see how people are using my dxf files. Many of the cut ready dxf designs that I have created are intended for larger, more detailed projects. It is my aim to give you the design components you need to create awesome gates, railing panels, signs and truly special, one-of-a-kind pieces for yourself or your clients.

​In this post we are going to focus on some of the custom designs and projects that I have designed and collaborated on. Even though I usually don’t get to see the finished design in person, the photographs that clients send are a true blessing. Our metal-art gallery showcases some of the custom projects that we have received photographs of. 
Many of the designs in the product catalogue were designed to be cut as stand-alone smaller pieces, for example the welcome signs, coat racks and wall art, and can be used for a product line or a one-off piece. It always inspires me to see what you do with the designs because you guys have so much raw talent. If you have a photo of a piece you created using one of our products and you would like to share with us or the Facebook Group: ​CNC Metal Art DXF files and Designs please consider uploading it here.

The gate shown below was designed for a client of Currier's Certified Welding of Kalispell, MT. Their client requested a double entry driveway gate with aspen trees and accented with eagles. 

Currier's Certified Welding forged and bent all the individual aspen tree branch components after cutting them on their CNC plasma table. The leaves were hand forged and welded to the branches. The drawing below shows the initial design concept with all the aspen tree branch components laid out, to give the client an idea of how it would look finished, with the leaves added and the eagles positioned on the gate. 

After the main driveway entrance gate was built, the client also requested a matching walkway gate using the same design elements, depicted below:

A single entry driveway gate, with a bear and trees, rocks in the foreground and mountains in the background. It was designed for and crafted by Currier's Certified Welding of Kalispell, Montana.

The horse pack train panel design shown below was used as an inset in a custom forged bench crafted by Mountain Metal Art, Ltd. It was built for the Back Country Horsemen of Montana.

The panel below, depicting whitetail deer in a forest was fabricated by Mountain Metal Art, Ltd. for a client in South Dakota. It was built as part of a suite of four matching wildlife themed panels.

​We would love for you to use our cut ready designs to make your projects stand out from the crowd. Whatever you create will be unique, distinguished and exclusive! We have found that due to the nature of the fabrication and finishing process used in metal art production, our products seldom come out looking identical, even if the same design is used. This gives the pieces you create a sense of individuality that just cannot be replicated by the mass production process. You have the flexibility to add your own input into the designs, you can add or resize components or cut out just the parts you want to use. The possibilities are endless, you could create three dimensional pieces or include translucent acrylic, unique metal or different wood backgrounds. You could even add lighting or back-lighting effects that can enhance and completely change the look and feel of the piece.

​I have had the joy of designing everything from elaborate double entry gates, railing panels, privacy panels and signs to custom artwork. No job is too small. I have also designed or converted to vector format all sorts of smaller projects, including: welcome signs, coat, mug and key racks, tack racks, vent covers, beam plates, strike plates, dead bolt latch plates, switch plates, shelf brackets, elaborate picket railing designs, fireplace screens and door sets, fire-pit rings, weather vanes, inserts for custom benches, window insets and lighting designs!
