When I came across thise site I thought it had something to do with somebody called Beth who had tin knockers. I was both disappointed and surprised to find out it had a sheet metal bias.
In fact it’s all about Beth Szillagyi (good Hungarian name, that) and her history as a lady sheet metal worker.
The rest of the site seems to be dedicated to women operators of all persuasions. Stephanie the trainee crane operator and Tracy the tarmacer, to name but two.
It’s a thoroughly confusing site to work your way round, but I was especially inspired by Beth’s story about how she managed to publish a book on her role in the sheet metal industry – I’m fully aware of what it’s like to be a persecuted minority in the world of sheet metal.

I might have clue where to start when looking in the UK, but in the US, I simply wouldn’t know. I’d look for a fixtures and fittings manufacturer, ironmonger, or approach antiques shops and wicker furniture shops yourself.
Sorry.
