All of Randy’s artwork and
functional objects are made from industrial grade steel. After
selecting the desired profile, the steel is cut to length and bent to
shape. Sheet stock is cut to the desired shapes. These components are tack
welded together to form the object. Following adjustments to ensure proper
placement, all welds are filled with steel and ground smooth.
The finishing process begins by immersing the piece in a
patina solution which reacts with the steel and turns the piece
black. Then a clear protective coating, which is chemically similar
to that used to protect your Automobile, is electro statically applied.
These final steps are designed to ensure heirloom quality status to Randy's
work.
In 1997, Randall
formed R. Henry Design, Inc. a company which he named after his grandfather.
Randy employs one assistance to help him with the
creation of his art.
