We do metal fabrication, public art pieces, and such. Every now and then, we get a new client who thinks they’re hot s*** but has no idea what goes into these projects.

At the end of last year, we quoted a job, and the client revealed that his entire budget was considerably less than what it would take to order materials alone. He demanded that we take the massive financial hit because “it would be great exposure.”

I guess he didn’t know we have pieces on five continents — including one for the Tokyo Olympics.
