Crafting Dreams in Steel: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at HCMW's Equipment and Process

At High Country Metal Works, crafting structural and ornamental steel for custom home builds and commercial properties is more than just a job; it's a passion. To offer our clients the best, we've invested in a range of equipment and tools that make our operations efficient and precise. Join us on a journey through the process of creating stunning steel projects and how our equipment plays a vital role at each step.

Meeting with Clients

Fuel-Efficient Cars: Our fuel-efficient cars play a crucial role in meeting clients. They're not just about reducing emissions; they're also cost-effective. We understand that the first impression often foreshadows our commitment to every aspect of the job.

Measuring and Designing the Project

Apple MacBooks and Various Software: Our MacBooks, loaded with essential software, allow us to design projects with precision and stay organized. From measurements to 3D modeling, these tools are the architects' secret to creating masterpieces in steel.

Fabricating in the Shop

• Millermatic 235 and 255 Welders: When it's time to bring those designs to life, our trusty Millers in the hands of our skilled and trained welders come into play. The Millermatic 235 and 255 are our workhorses, meticulously crafting railings and staircases that will leave a lasting impression.

• Jet Bandsaw: For precise cuts and shaping of steel, we turn to our Jet bandsaw. Whether it's intricate details or clean lines, this machine is our go-to tool.

• Torch: For those larger steel projects, the torch provides the power and flexibility needed to shape steel to our exact specifications.

• Forklift: Our forklift is the unsung hero in our shop, maneuvering heavy projects with ease and loading them onto our trailers. It ensures a smooth workflow and utmost safety throughout the fabrication process.

• Arclite Dynamics CNC Table: This piece of equipment is a game-changer. It allows us to create custom parts and signs, expanding our production capability without outsourcing work. It's the secret behind our unique and intricate designs.

Powder Coating

• The Powder Coating Process: We take our time to perfect the finish. Once the steel is ready, we apply a powder coat finish that not only looks stunning but also provides durability. It's all about longevity, ensuring our projects remain beautiful for years to come.

Installing the Project

• Trailers: Our fleet of trailers plays a vital role in the final step of our process. The 20' flatbed is ideal for quick trips, making installations hassle-free. For multiple-day on-site installations, the 18' enclosed trailer holds our tools securely. When we have large projects like staircases and extensive railing needs, the 30' gooseneck is our trusted companion.

• Diesel Trucks: For those heavy loads, we rely on our diesel trucks to pull them safely. We understand the importance of safety, and our trucks are up to the task.
