For over thirty five years my brothers and I have focused our careers on designing and building exquisite architectural metalwork. With over a thousand completed projects under our belt, and all three of us well past the meridian of our lives we feel a pressing need to share what we have learned along the way. In our quest to master a traditional craft we have had some amazing experiences and gained valuable insights we wish we could have tapped earlier in our careers. We have also worked with many wonderful artisans from a variety of disciplines that share our same passion in their respected fields. In retrospect it is the people we have worked with, and for, that motivate us to keep looking to the future.

With the launch of a new website and a wonderful team of skilled associates we have never been better prepared to take on a project like this. We are excited to share the ins and outs of our work.  It is our plan to cover a range of topics on our blog “This Week in Metalwork”. Our topics will cover various aspects of the processes and skills required to design and execute our craft at a high level. The entries will also address the challenges we are currently facing, along with the questions and inquiries that come in from clients and craftsmen concerning various aspects of our work. We also plan to cover pertinent topics of interest to our team of writers along with profiles of the skilled artisans and people we work with. We also want to share some of the great images from our archive that help tell the HACI story!

We hope that you will enjoy this new addition to the website! Feel free to make comments to our posts and offer up questions for us to answer.
