My customer requested a lighting design called "Circuit Board" in a 4' x 6' size. The fixture is powder coated steel and accommodates eight LED bulbs or incandescent 60 watt bulbs.

For Metal Quote SignI am very happy with the workmanship of the custom metal quote sign Richard made for me. The project was completed in a very timely manner. Richard's communication about my project was excellent and exactly what I wanted. I already plan to use Richard again for more custom metal projects!

For On Sale Vintage Drive In Movie Theater Light Fixture Sconce Art DecoGreat product! Exactly how I expected and the communication was on point. I would highly recommend this company.
JoBell Wilson
For JoBell's Street Address Signage for Apt. Bldg.I'm thrilled to give Richard rave reviews for the work he did for us! We are a Hawai'i based company and he was able to work with us and even did everything he could to make sure the shipping costs were reasonable (which isn't an easy task). He was extremely responsive, easy to work with, and the end product was beyond our expectations. Even the way he packaged our signage was impressive. Everything arrived in perfect condition. If given the opportunity, we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.
Jennifer Pietrasik
For Jennifer's RailingI absolutely LOVE our custom made porch railing! Richard and I emailed a few times as he was wonderful about checking in with me about exactly I wanted. I wish I could upload a picture. We really couldn't be happier. This was our first experience having something custom made and it was fabulous!
Mark Eichler
For Headphone, amp, DAC standVery adaptive to my requests for a custom project for a steel welded stereo component shelving system with headphone rest. Gave me initial plans which I was able to customize further. Responsive to communication, and the product was top notch. Would use his services again and recommend him without reservation for your custom steel project.

For michael's Floor LampWe could not be happier with the the process of working with Richard and the finished project. The light is exactly what we wanted- even better thanks to RIchard's creativity and skill. He communicated clearly and promptly and fully embraced our design concept yet he professionally brought up better options along the way. Even the installation directions were crystal clear. For a custom job, Richard and Cold Steel Art are the right choice.
Andrew Loren
For Custom clothes rack and curtain rodsOnce again Richard from Cold Steel Art delivers an amazing product in record time. His vast knowledge makes fast work of finding solutions for any issue, budget and project. He listens and makes sure that your both on the same page before diving into production and his quick and clear communication makes every project a breeze.
Kary Clemons
For Custom Pendant FixtureI am an interior designer, and I source many light fixtures for clients. We ordered 2 custom fixtures from Richard and both turned out wonderful, especially considering this client's very specific vision. I would definitely recommend Richard Hays to future clients.
Donna Watson
For Donna's Ceiling LightI searched everywhere for the perfect kitchen ceiling light...local stores, on line, catalogs...but nothing seemed like the right fit. Some came close, but I wasn't settling. Contacted Custom Made since I had a piece made (liquor cabinet) a few months ago which turned out great. Reviewed many profiles and thought Richard's work was the best suited for my project. He contacted me quickly, coordinated the specifics of my light fixture, kept me informed of each step of the process, and instructed me on the simple assembly and installation. Great care and creativity are apparent in this piece and it is a perfect complement to my recently renovated kitchen.
Xiaoxi Wan
For Computer Rack CaseRichard fulfilled a request for a very specific and niche fabrication for my computer/technology setup. The project had several challenging requirements, and Richard demonstrated a ton of flexibility, diligence, and cooperation in making sure that the concept/design was effectively realized. He provided clear communication and updates every step of the way. It was a pleasure working with Richard!
Joanne Gale
For Stand to hold trumpet while playingThe project was amazing. Richard took my few design ideas and made them a reality with his expertise, and created something truly unique. He designed and built a useful and durable product that fits exactly what I wanted. He was also very quick to respond to my messages. The only problem was delivery, which was over a week later than expected, and required extra payment, but this was due to it being an overseas delivery and delay at customs, which would not apply if you were in the US. He also produced a product which was great value. I would certainly work with Richard again if I needed a similar project.
Andrew Loren
For metal pipe garment rackRichard was a wonderful person to work with. Knowledgeable and accommodating as well as a clear communicator and quick. He was thoughtful and produced a wonderful product that will last for years and years. I can't tell you how happy I am to have found him.

Erika Gimbel
For Erika's metalworkFrom start to finish this was a great experience. Richard was timely in providing an estimate/bid. He asked good questions to get to the specifics of what would be best for the project. He thought of creative and artistic ideas. And the final result was fantastic and better than I expected. I would highly recommend working with Richard.
Jennifer Li
For Music stand ProjectRichard was able to create the exact music stand I wanted with just a simple image. By looking at the images he was able to ascertain the materials and methods for creating the item. The item was done in a couple of short weeks, and was just what I envisioned.
