LIGHTFAST Lion
Posted on Nov. 20 2012This is what it looks like and sounds like when you apply Corten to a carved wooden lion with … thermal spray. There is a layer of zinc applied first to keep the molten steel from burning the wood. Read more

kicthen island/ bar counter with drawers and storage space, industrial feel
by Ralph M. Apr 13th 2013
Justin does great work with metal. I have a small apartment with little kitchen space, and I needed a kitchen island that could serve as prep space, storage space, and casual hang-out space. Justin worked with me to develop a design that met those requirements. He sent me samples of different metal finishes so that I could decide based on the real thing, not just photos. He communicated well throughout and was very fair on price - the final product was a little more than the original estimate, but that was after a great deal of discussion and new design elements (including folding leaves to turn the island into a dining table). Very good experience overall.

Bottleworks Etched Bar Mirror
by Matt Olson Apr 02nd 2013
The custom etched bar mirror looks great. It will be an awesome focal point behind the bar in my bottle shop. There was a slight problem with a subcontractor who was dragging their feet. However, Justin more than made up for the slight delay. I enjoyed the entire process and would highly recommend Lightfast. Great work and great customer service!

Justin is good at what he does. He is a master craftsman. He took my requirements and did a great job will completing the project and giving me what I wanted. Even when things went wrong, he went the extra mile to make everything right. I would recommend him for any metal or stone project.
