TMR Custom Metal Work to the Rescue

David — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:32:12 +0000

The call came in last Tuesday afternoon right before Thanksgiving.

Jack Gold, owner of Presidential Interiors and the millwork contractor on the build out of the new Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry flagship store in Soho was in a jam. He needed help completing a set of polished steel doors for display cases for the store’s grand opening on Friday — Black Friday — in just three days.

After searching Google for a custom metal fabricator, he found the TMR website and picked up the phone and spoke with Scott Behr, TMR’s founder and president.

Scott assured Jack that TMR was the right choice for the job and instilled a sense of confidence and relief. The design and production teams at TMR have experience with this level of project and could manage the design, fabrication, and installation within the short time frame. The display case doors would be completed and installed beautifully for Friday’s opening.

Instead of watching the parade and eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day, the TMR team put in 24 hours of hardcore custom metal work and delivered as promised. Jack was psyched, and the store was ready in time for its Black Friday opening.

Congrats to the TMR team!

Contact TMR for your custom metal fabrication needs and learn how TMR’s process can help make your project a success. Please call us first and in advance to see what we are capable of with a normal lead time. Metalwork is generally the last thing to be installed in a construction project. It should be the first thing purchased to get a perfect result, on time and on budget.

One Lucky Angler Will Win a RetroCard Belt Buckle

Scott Behr, founder of Total Metal Resource, can often be found (sometimes in the middle of the night!) at the India St. pier in Greenpoint fishing for bluefish or striped bass.

He hooked up with the Brooklyn Urban Anglers Association who are hosting their 3rd Annual BKUAA Brooklyn Fishing Derby through the month of October, and Scott gave them an offer they just couldn’t refuse in the form of a sweet donation to the prize pool.

One lucky derby grand prize winner who catches the largest Striped Bass will walk away with a RetroCard Belt Buckle at the end of the derby.

If you needed another reason to get your derby on, this is it.

Designed by Patrick Quinn and hand-produced by TMRnyc in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, each RetroCard Belt Buckle in this limited edition release is signed by the artist, numbered, and dated.

For the (fisher) man who needs his hands free to carry his pole and tackle, the RetroCard Belt Buckle is the ultimate derby prize.

RetroCard Belt Buckle Features

Made of hot rolled steel that develops a unique patina from daily wear.

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.

Custom Table Designs

Here is a glimpse at some custom tables that Scott has designed and built over the years.

Montauk Exterior Sconce Lighting – UL Listed

Sam — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 20:05:05 +0000

These light fixtures were rewired and modified for a residence in Montauk. The light fixtures consisted of one set of antique cast bronze with cast glass Pexto ship-lights and one set of sheet brass with a polycarbonate lens. The fixtures were tested in underwriters laboratory for exterior use. The fixtures were left unfinished so that they would patina naturally.

Oaxaca Restaurant

Oaxaca Restaurant needed brackets to hold up a banquette in their establishment. The brackets were constructed out of 2″ x 2″ square steel tube and painted black for the finish. Sometimes its nice to make simple things.

Colicchio and Son’s II

The fuel for the fire has to be stored somewhere. These two 9′ tall x 10′ wide racks should do the job. Fabricated out of 3/8″ blackened steel plate, these racks can hold enough wood to incinerate just about anything.
