All of them! We can fabricate and weld pretty much any metal alloy. And yes, this means aluminum too! We specialize in non-ferrous materials such as Brass, Copper, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum.

Colonial Metalworks (CMW) offers a mix of functional fabrication, custom art, and experiential builds. Here’s the core range of services you provide:

🔥 Custom Metalwork & Fabrication

• Functional and ornamental welding, forging, and machining

• Hand-built furniture (e.g., C-Frame stools, Dockside Collection anodized aluminum furniture)

• Architectural and industrial metalwork (railings, gates, fixtures, etc.)

🔥 Sculptures & Art Installations

• Large-scale sculptures (dragons, tiki creatures, monoliths, jack-o’-lanterns, shrunken heads, etc.)

• One-of-a-kind works made from reclaimed and repurposed materials

• Themed builds for events, public displays, and private collections

🔥 Fire & Flame Creations

• Fire-breathing tiki gods, keg creatures, and metal monsters

• Flame effects and propane-driven art pieces (with consultation for safe setups)

🔥 Wall Art & Metal Murals

CMW creates custom wall art ranging from small forged pieces to large-scale metal murals that transform blank walls into statement features. Designs often incorporate reclaimed and repurposed materials, blending industrial grit with artistic detail. Each piece is hand-built to bring depth, texture, and storytelling into a space — whether it’s for a home, business, gallery, or public installation. Lighting, patina finishes, and layered metalwork can be integrated for added atmosphere and dimension.

Here are a few things that we DON'T provide

We simply make cool stuff! :-)

The turnaround time for a custom metalwork project varies depending on the complexity and scope of the project. We strive to get projects finished and out the door quickly. Most larger projects are completed and delivered within 2 weeks or less.

No. No we do not provide any mobile repair or fabrication services.

Yes we do. In addition to specialized coating processes that we do in-house, we also maintain relationships with various local shops that provides powdercoating, cerracote, hydro-dipping, anodizing, and custom paint.

Though we have full machining capabilities, we do not offer engine machining services. We offer special repair and modification services as evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We can repair most things that others can't.
