Custom metal art, beadrolled panels, aircraft-inspired wall art, and laser engraving - made in Des Plaines, IL, shipped anywhere.
WHAT WE MAKE
Every piece is designed and built from scratch — no templates, no shortcuts.
AIRCRAFT-INSPIRED WALL ART
Our best-selling piece. Hand-formed from .05" thick 3003 series aluminum — the same alloy used in actual aircraft construction — this product is shaped using an English Wheel, Planishing Hammer, and Bead Roller to create a piece that looks like it was salvaged from a vintage fuselage.
128 hand-installed aluminum rivets. Two recessed window openings. A raw brushed finish that gets better with age. This isn't factory metal. It's real fabrication work, and it looks like it.
Hang it in your living room, office, studio, or workshop — it works in all of them.
SPECS CALLOUT:
- 36"W × 24"H × 3"D

BEAD ROLLED ART PANELS
Turn your custom image, logo, or tattoo design into a dimensional aluminum art panel. Every image is bead rolled by hand directly into the metal — no stickers, no prints, no shortcuts. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece with depth, texture, and a presence that flat art can't match.
Each panel ships with a custom laser-cut frame, the image engraved on the back, our logo, and the artist's signature. Custom text available on request.
