For the past several weeks we have been showcasing our products at the Brooklyn Flea Market. Located at One Hanson Place in downtown Brooklyn (take the subway to the Atlantic Avenue station), the Brooklyn Flea Market features countless local vendors and an impressive assortment of delicious food stands. Rachel Gehlert, TMR’s raging and engaging master of all trades, will not stop until she has found Anthi’s greek food stand.

TMR’s products are available at the market. The products that are available range from, but are not limited to, MetroCard Belt Buckles, Steel-ring bowls, Side-Wired Tables, Swarf Tables, and weekly creations by Scott Behr that are exclusive to the weekend event. Some recent creations have consisted of mini diamond do-whatever-you-want-it-to’s, steel-ring necklaces, and found furniture that transforms from trash to treasure with added steel accents.

Here is a video that our friend James Jones shot for us one weekend. Check out the video and then clear your Saturday and Sunday schedule for some Brooklyn trinket-treating and delicious food finding.

This mono-stringer staircase was fabricated for a residential building near the courthouse in downtown Manhattan. The design of a mono-stringer staircase is based around the single support beam running up the middle of the steps. The support beam used in this project was fabricated out of 6″ x 6″ x .5″ steel and painted gloss white for the finish. Due to the size and weight of the support beam, it had to be crane lifted on to the roof for installation. The staircase led to the rooftop deck which meant that some heavy duty welding was required when faceting the beam to the header. It’s a good thing Brett Tetro was around.
