Old Tools are Cool

                                  A couple of pictures of my 1927 South Bend lathe.

Color!

  The red and black distressed finish on this console table makes it a standout in any room. Measuring 22" tall, 56" wide and 17" deep this piece is just right for a TV on top with VCR or game consoles stored inside. Heavy steel channel was used for the frame with beaded sheet metal sides and doors. Reclaimed wood with great saw marks and a waxed finish makes up the table top.

  This piece is currently available for purchase. For more information on this table or inquire about having something custom built for your needs please email mattpiccolo@yahoo.com

The Arched Door Cabinet

  Just think of the ways you could use this custom built cabinet. A bar, TV stand or storage for kitchen wares are a few ideas. At 40 1/2" wide, 19 1/2" deep and 43" tall there is ample space to fit whatever you chose. A steel frame is accented with bead rolled and hand dimpled sides. Reclaimed wood from the attic of an old farmhouse offers just the right amount of contrast to the darkened steel.

  This cabinet is available for purchase. If you are interested in this cabinet or having a piece custom built to suit your needs please contact Black Falcon Fabrication for more information mattpiccolo@yahoo.com

The Bucket Bench

    The 3 barn wood shelves and curved steel front legs look great together on this hand crafted piece inspired by bucket benches of days gone by. Imagine this holding your favorite collectables or filled with merchandise in a retail setting. While sturdy in stature this is a very flexible design and could be constructed in different lengths and heights to suit your needs.

Panel making

   This is a short video showing what goes into making as side panel for a Black Falcon Fabrication cabinet.

   A plasma cutter is used to trim the steel. Next up is the bead roller with a round die. Then the panel is marked for dimples. Each dimple is hand hammered. The cabinet this panel will go on has 320 dimples total.

Brimfield Bound

    Black Falcon Fabrication will be on the road in May. This time next month the spring sales at Brimfield, Mass. will be in full swing. I am teaming up with Matt Greig from Antiques in Milton to pack a spot full of great items.

   The table pictured above is just one of the new pieces that I will have offered at the show. I added a custom built set of legs and the wood top to this vintage set of drawers to transform the ordinary to the eye catching.
