Architectural Metalworker
An Architectural Metalworker makes steel doors, metal patterns, fixtures, templates and railings for architectural purposes. They need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different metals.
Many Architectural Metalworkers are self employed and create their own designs for sale to decorators and builders. They also take on assignments from architects who supply them with drawings.
Typical work includes:
- Cutting, forging and bending different types of metal into shapes using machine tools (these include metal band saws, power shears, fly presses and swage machines).
- Soldering, brazing and welding to join the different parts of the metal pattern together.
- Installing the finished product into the building.
