Your words · your mark · your design · your original, cast in iron, bronze or stainless
Customized Castings
Most of what a foundry pours is somebody else's drawing, repeated. This is the other kind of work: one marker with your family's history, a sign with the restaurant's name, a pan to your sketch, a bust from your clay, a replacement for a casting made fifty years ago. One piece or fifty, priced honestly, with the pattern cost stated once.
Historical markers and plaques
Caster of the NHCP markers since 1980. Private and institutional markers, dedication tablets and plaques, sized to your text. Tell us the size and we send the price.
Plaques and markers →Signage, nameplates and memorials
Cast letters and nameplates for buildings, hotels, restaurants and clubs; donor and cornerstone plaques; headstone and columbarium plates; bas-relief and seals from an artist's model.
Signage and memorials ↓Cookware for restaurants
Pots, skillets, kawali and sizzling plates to a restaurant's own design, its name cast in. Pattern quoted once and yours to keep, credited back on volume; raw FC250 castings.
Iron Fiesta Cookware →Art from your original
Busts, reliefs and objects cast from the artist's master by lost wax or in sand, in bronze, stainless or iron. Finishing stays with the artist.
For artists →Replicas and repairs
A missing letter, a cracked plaque, a sign that must match one cast decades ago, a part for a machine with no drawing. Bring the original; we mold it.
Replacement castings →Three metals
Gray iron, the material of markers and kawali. Bronze, warm and patinable, for plaques and sculpture. Stainless steel, bright and weatherproof, rare in art and signage because few can cast it; we can.
Signage, nameplates and memorials
Building and business names
Cast bronze or stainless letters and nameplates for entrances, lobbies and gates. Raised letters on a cast plate, or individual letters pinned to stone. Hotel, restaurant, clinic, school, club.
Dedication and donor plaques
Cornerstone tablets, donor walls, blessing and inauguration plaques, anniversary plaques, club champions' boards. Your logo cast in relief, text set in our standard lettering.
Memorials
Headstone plaques, columbarium and mausoleum plates, cemetery markers, memorial garden plaques. Cast bronze or iron with raised letters, mounted on granite or masonry by your memorial park's installer. Portrait reliefs from an artist's model.
Bas-relief and seals
Relief maps, seals, coats of arms, logos in three dimensions. The artist or designer makes the model; we cast it and cut the gates.
Routed and engraved, through partners
Wood and HDU routed signs and large-format work through MIRDC-DOST's router; laser-engraved stainless plates through engraving partners. We coordinate, so you deal with one supplier.
Mounting
Cast lugs or bolt holes on the back, stainless anchors into concrete or masonry, a template for your contractor. A pedestal is the mason's work; we give the dimensions and the weight.
