Craftsman Style Copper Hood With Forged Steel Strapping
This copper hood was made to fit a very tight location in a kitchen in St. Paul, Minnesota. It is fabricated from 18 gauge copper and accented by lightly forged steel strapping which overlaps in a unique way to give the piece a lot of depth and presence in this craftsman style home. This type of project is always going to be custom and can be made in a variety of styles and sizes with primitive or precision accents or a beautiful combination of both.

Primitive Precision Metalcraft Llc
I am a 30 year old metalsmith specializing in custom metal fabricating, blacksmithing and jewelry. I wake up every morning breathing ideas in metal. Its such great stuff! I wouldn't have named my new son, Eisen, german for "Iron" if I wasn't sure he'd grow up a blacksmith just like me and love metal like me. No pressure of course, I will let him do whatever he wants.
I pride myself in working with clients to create unique functional art pieces, objects and furniture that can stand alone and make a statement as well as accompany their surroundings to improve the current atmosphere. This can apply to furniture, jewelry and sculpture all the same.
When possible I employ the use of recycled materials and resources to create my custom projects. I feel this is a vital component in creating original work and in many ways contributes to a more unique creation with built in history.
Thank you for visiting and feel free to contact us for more information or to commission a custom creation!

He took on my project with enthusiasm, and was an absolute joy to work with. I definitely recommend him for you metal-smithing needs :)

Jan 13, 2018Ordering was very easy, (even with our special request) Hans communicated every step of the process. We received them ahead of schedule and they were even nicer then the pictures portrayed. Quality and precision you only get from a craftsman/artist. Would definitely order from him again.

Jun 26, 2012I absolutely can not say enough about Primitive Precision Metalcraft. Hans was amazing with my very simple project. The piece is more than a functional piece, it's a work of art. He was timely, reasonably priced, and very good at working with me. Thank you so much!
