STEELFOOT
fabrication
I love restoring old machinery and getting into the minds of the people who designed them decades ago. I also specialize in restoring wood furniture. Whether its a collapsing family heirloom or a yard sale find, many pieces can be brought back to life.
Restoration of Furniture and Equipment
Large and/or complex projects can be a nightmare on your own. I have many connections to fill in what I can't take care of and can do the leg work to make your idea become reality; getting it done from concept to conclusion.
Project Design and Implementation
SERVICES
With 15 years of experience in these mediums, both in tandem and separately, I can fabricate a vast range of items for either interior or exterior applications; from massive steel constructions to intimate sculptural bases.
Wood and Steel
Fabrication
steel and wood fabrication - crating - tool and jig making
carpentry - shipping - furniture - machines and restoration
Projects I've made have gone to Venice, London, Dubai, and all over the United States. Therefore I've had to deal with all kinds of scenarios to move work. As an artist myself, I can professionally handle artwork and other fragile objects.
Packaging - Crating
and Shipping
I have an in house printer that can print up to just shy of 6" D x 6" H x 8" W. I'm also decent at product design on Google Sketchup, so I can take an idea you have and create a real world part either as a prototype or a final product.

Modeling

SteelFoot was born after a realization that my skills as a sculptor were being used by many people to solve a wide range of problems, not just the conceptual scenarios of my artistic practice (check it out at www.fadelsculpture.com). I have and continue to do work for artists, contractors, businesses, the U of A, and individuals all over Tucson. I also possess the luxury (or curse) of living in my shop for over 3 years now, I get to my tools before I get to my toilet...
I started sculpture in 2002 as a high school student in South Carolina where I got a BFA in sculpture in 2007 from Winthrop University. From there I moved to Palm Beach Florida to work for an aluminum artist, learning the intricacies of running a small business as well as expanding my technical skills. Then I came to Tucson in 2010 and earned an MFA in sculpture at the U of A and have been teaching sculpture there off and on since my degree in 2013.
By supporting this business, you are supporting the arts. Virtually all of my life is focused on becoming a positive influence on humanity through sculpture, sharing a viewpoint of the world that has become blurred in todays societal psyche.
