Amethyst Crystal Show Piece Mount

Glasswork

Weighing in at over 250 lbs, this crystal specimen was a challenge to encase and mount in mild steel. An overdone french cleat solved the problem for mounting. We used a patina solution to add an antique copper glow to the metal. Concept by Double Happiness Design Wood work by Dovetail Furniture Co.

      Hellgate Forge made some beautiful square pulls for a two custom cabinets I had designed for a client. The pulls will just put this cabinet above my expectations. They look fabulous and Darin at Hellgate was very helpful, professional and worked very hard to make everything the way I wanted. I couldn't think of a better process. Thanks Darin!!

      Darin was amazing to work with - so nice and accommodating and easy to communicate with. The branch railing he made for our staircase is gorgeous and a work of art. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Darin and Hellgate Forge.

      Darin makes functional art out of metal. The barstools and table base he made are beautiful and bombproof. He took what little "vision" I had and created some truly unique pieces, which ended up being exactly what we were looking for. And when delivery became an issue, Darin went ABOVE and BEYOND to make it right. Stand up fella who makes wonderful stuff.
