Getting Creative With Steel

When we say that the possibilities of what we can do with steel are endless, we mean it. We look forward to taking on projects that show off our capabilities and have fun doing it. A recent project that allowed us to get creative with our valued added capabilities came from a machine shop customer. They came to us looking to recreate this… pterodactyl

Their president had seen a pterodactyl made of steel somewhere else and he was on a mission to have one for himself. Westfield Steel is always up for a new challenge. While we may not have the money of a billionaire philanthropist and a small team of genetic scientists to create a wildlife park of cloned dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, we do have an experienced and talented team of experts who can recreate them out of steel.

Our customer had designed, laid out and modeled the pterodactyl from scratch and we burned all the steel. The finished pterodactyls are now on display and hung at their shop. Check it out…
