Worst Customer service ever
Custom Metal Products is one of the worst ran businesses that I have ever witnessed. I just renovated a brownstone and used Custom Metal (http://www.ironworkny.com/) to redo the metal on my windows and gate. It took forever to get an estimate. That should have been my warning. They were sloppy, irresponsible, and had to come back on more than one occasion until it was complete. They tracked dirt and mud through my home and scratched the walls upon their exit. I would never recommend them for a job. The finished product is fine but the run around and headache is not worth it.

I'm looking for someone to make a table base out of iron or steel, a simple squared U shape (i.e. three sides of a square, with the bottom side resting on the floor). Anyone know of someone who can do this for me? Thanks.

cast iron repair - dip?
I see notes on the forum about dipping shutters, but what of dipping cast iron fences? I believe I heard someone did this. Any thoughts? I used Vinnie's on Bergen before but if anyone had any previous experience with this I'd love to hear.

Iron Gate for Brownstone
Someone stole the front gate off our house a little while back and I'm pushing our insurance company to replace it with another antique (it's in our policy).
Does anyone know where I could find such an antique iron gate?
Also, does anyone know what sort of ballpark cost it would be? The fence has 2 pins on which the old gate rested.

Where to get a sink reshaped?
We have this lovely stainless steel sink that we want to put in our new kitchen. However, it is an undermount sink that we plan on installing as if it were a drop-in.
If it is possible we would like to have the angular corners at the top ground down to match the rounded corners at the bottom.
None of the local machine shops that we asked said that it was within their abilities to do this. So, please point us to whichever metallurgist or magician out there can help us.
Thanks in advance.
