The Ultimate Podcast Table with an electric height adjustable base started as an idea with a list of requests from the client. It is a true work of art. The client was extremely pleased with the end result. I like to refer to it as "Functional Artwork" Fabricated mostly using steel and walnut. Decorated with an artistic strip down the middle of the table using Zinc and Copper and Stainless & Copper inlay. Use it relaxed, having conversations in comfy seats, or raise it and lean on it with a cold drink on the shelf away for the top. Cable ports are integrated to the top of the base to run phone chargers. The top also has ports with Brass covers for Mics. The base is used for storage and wiring with easy access to it.
Dirty Metal Secrets Inc.
I've been getting my hands dirty with metal for over 30 years. Everything is custom handmade by ONLY me (no employees or crew. just me). I have 10 years of experience woking with wood. I have a passion for making dreams a reality. Clients give me an idea, sketch, or specific list of needs. I work on a drawing to scale, and once approved I start on the project.
I would say my artistic creativity and blacksmithing skills are my strongest points, since I've been working the longest with them. I let my projects speak for themselves. I am a perfectionist and my own worst critic. 90% of my metal projects are mild steel, but I do work with other metals and any welding process.
When it comes to wood in my projects, I try to use repurposed wood whenever possible, but I'm not limited by it. Let's brainstorm, crunch some numbers, and make one of a kind custom pieces.
The product that Xavier made for me to give to my friend is absolutely beautiful. I would not change one thing. The only thing that I wish we could’ve done better was communicate more and if he could have made a couple of deadlines. Otherwise, it was a great experience.
This project did take longer than what I had expected, but, issues with the shipping company and some miscommunication led to a longer lead time. The Maker did make up for the disappointing job the shipping company made, by actually delivering the product himself. From Texas to Michigan is no small trip. For this, they earned four starts. Timeliness earned four stars. Communication and professionalism made the project great. There were changes. but they were on it every step of the way. The quality of the bar stools is second to none. They truly are one of a kind. I assure you there are no others like it available. Each one weighs about sixty pounds and they will outlive me and the next person who has them. The value is unreal. We obtained much more than what I believed we would for the price we paid. The wait was well worth the product we received. I give Xavier and his team two thumbs up. If they could control the shipping company, dealing with shippers is a tough business in itself, They would be five stars all across the board. We will certainly be looking for Dirty Metal Secrets for our next project. Might make up a project just to deal with them again.
This was my 2nd project with Xavier and once again he did not disappoint! He created the exact vision I had in my head. His craftsmanship, customer service, and communication is top notch!
Awesome job on my table top!
Just received my custom grill insert (mild steel) from Xavier and I highly recommend him! He was a great communicator, great value, and finished it super fast. I will definitely be back for more when I have another metal project.. thanks Xavier!
