Anchor & Key Ironwork Studio is led by Brent Howard, an artist-engineer who merges fine-art craftsmanship with production-grade welding. Brent founded the Yale University sculpture shop, holds an MFA in Sculpture, served as a platform supervisor at SpaceX leading welding teams, taught welding at Yale, and has pipe-welding experience on oil rigs. That background shows up in our work: disciplined planning, clean execution, and finishes that meet the spec.
Approach
We begin with design-assist: clarify loads, tolerances, coatings, and installation logistics. Then we sequence cut → form → machine → fixture → weld → finish → package, with QA gates for predictable outcomes.
Capabilities
MIG/Flux-core, TIG, and Stick welding; aluminum and stainless specialists; CNC plasma/laser; forming; machining; sandblasting and powder coating; academic shop consulting.
