Quite the weekend at the Brooklyn Flea this Sunday. Decided to bring out the old copper dining table to step things up this weekend and who other than who happens to show up on Sunday but Jerry Seinfeld and George Stephanopoulos. Rachel gave me the secret code for celebrity alert and when I turned around low and behold there they were sneaking down the staircase for a little lunchtime with the Flea Food Vendors. Now normally I don’t get terribly excited about seeing celebrities but nearing the end of the day ,Sam told me that Wyatt Cenac was upstairs so I had to give him an award for being so f@#*ing funny. One of my favorite bits was his collaboration with Slim Thug, “Still a Boss“. You have to check that out.

TMR has recently become listed on Made in NYC’s website. Made in NYC provides a business-to-business platform that allows buyers and sellers of locally produced products to connect with one another. It’s a great resource for all local businesses in the New York area. Be sure to check out Made in NYC’s Green Products. If a company’s product is certified as “Green”, it is noted by a green apple in the company’s listing. Our custom made Swarf tables made the cut.

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.
