Recycling Bin Rack – ISO 800 f/5.0?

Posted on 25, Sep

If I had my way then I’d incentivize (can you tell this American language thing is starting to rub off on me?) our clients and customers to get a bit creative and photograph the work they’ve had done for them by Butler Sheetmetal. Then again, if I had my way I’d offer incentives (but obviously [...]

Sheet Metal Fabrication: Can We Help?

Posted on 5, Jun

Our bread and butter here at Butler Sheetmetal Ltd is – yes, you’ve guessed it – fabricating things out of sheet metal.

We did the pipe clips (seats) btw. One of these days we’ll get to do the ship [...]

Stainless Steel Backsplashes, Plinths and Hobs for the Kitchen

Posted on 31, Jan

These stainless steel backsplashes and plinths are rather easy on the eye and even easier for us to make. (That’s obviously the most important thing, right? ) John’s Kitchen. Sick of my sister’s incessant whining to finish the kitchen off and owning his own sheet metal shop, John sought inspiration from a stainless steel planter [...]

Buckminster Fullerene or Football?

Posted on 14, Nov

The world can be divided into two types of people – those whose think the above is a Buckminster Fullerene and those who think it’s a football. And those who think it’s just an overpriced planter. Visit our sister site, Tinpot Alley, to view more stainless steel and metal planters.
