Just picked up a bench framework designed by my interior design daughter and myself. Brian Fritz's welding craftmanship precisely matched the cardboard and hot glue prototype which was created to make sure the bench dimensions fit perfectly under a large window.
In addition, he added leg caps with internal nuts without charge when I mentioned that leg adjustments might be needed for an uneven surface. (The thin metal caps I had specified would not have been strong enough with just couple of threads.)
He beat 2 other estimates - $425 instead of 500 and 1000. Now this might sound high to some but this was a complex design with 5 different metal stock types and lots of precise right angles and joints. (See picture.) Now it is our turn to add the padded seats and rustic wooden drawers.
