Balcony Railing

4/18/2011

 
This balcony railing was designed by me and fabricated by Ernie’s Welding Shop here in Austin.  I provided the shop drawings, and they built it to spec.   They did beautiful, quality work.   

While nailing down some details about the project, I met Ernie himself, talked a bit of shop, and weaseled my way into a tour of the place. 

The railings are made from tubing.  I started off with a fairly complex design but kept simplifying to reduce cost (primarily labor).  The end result remained true to the original intent of long, horizontal lines with a random yet balanced pattern.
