stretch Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 here are few different plates I have done and joist hangers out of 1/4" plate. The bigger plates are 1/2" plate. I love the relief it gives and they stand out nice. The corner brackets are 1 3/8" solid bar 3' long. The T plate is 27" long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Martin Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Very nice job, you must be proud. A blueprint is like a how-to and I encourage you to do so. Goto the top of the forum and you will see a blueprints link, click on it and fine out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Blueprints are the IForgeIron how-to tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbrforge Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I ran, programmed, and fixed an industrial laser for 15 years. One time a gentleman came in requesting joist plates and tie in plates. The project involved me turning his drawing (sketch) into contiguous geometry, then into cnc code. Got the job done, very curvy and good looking. Shipped them, next day the customer called and said they looked too good! Could we distress them? (Much to the chagrin of all involved with the project) We brought them back in and proceeded to beat the xxxx out of them and made the customer very happy. Was the fly press used for texturing also or just for the acute cuts? Your work is beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks. The fly press was used to bend the joist hangers. All the other pieces were textured on the hammer, larger than needed and then cut out with a friends plasma cutter. Then the lines were put in the corners and such by hand. All the bolt heads were made on the flypress too. They are about 1 1/2" square and decorative round heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
