Re:Work's commitment to building furniture from reclaimed barns is smack on point! I was introduced to this husband-and-wife-run show at a Yelp event showcasing locally run businesses around central Ohio. They know where to look, who to know, and how to make wonderful furniture. Picture frames, tables, basically, you name it and, if it's feasible, they'll make it! We were able to make a simple, but classy wood plant vase out of their reclaimed barn wood. "Reduce, reuse, recycle" at its finest! I'm excited that they're working on expanding there work space. Having the front-space addition, they're planning to make a "show room"/ come and try/experience their offerings before you chat and decide on a design. Nice!

We were so lucky to learn about Edgework Creative at an event that was being hosted there. Lindsay,…read moreone of the awesome owners, was at the event. She gave us some background on the company and just made us fall in love with what they are doing there in Grandview. We purchased a kitchen cutting board that evening and it truly is my favorite addition to my kitchen. The quality of this cutting board is obvious. It is sturdy and beautiful. We hope to purchase a tall standing mirror in the future. They have many on hand in their workshop that can be viewed if you stop by. We are saving up now for it. Feel free to stop by their incredible shop to see what they have on hand for purchase. You can also contact them via their website with any vision you have in mind that you would like made personally for you. Check them out!

Had a great experience with Alro Steel…read more First off, this is a real deal, industrial steel company. If you need to build a bridge, this is where trucks go to pick up the steel. There is no showroom, but there is a visitors office next to the warehouse. If you need something, go inside, and they will hook you up with a salesperson, and they have samples so you can see what your getting. So WHY would you need such a place? Well in my case it was for a stainless steel backsplash. I wanted a custom fit (34 5/8 x 60 1/2 if you MUST know) piece of stainless steel to go behind our stove in the kitchen. Big box stores like Home Depot have small, pre-cut pieces, but nothing like what I wanted. I walked into Alro a bit intimidated, a fantastic sales person listened to what I wanted, and translated that into an order in less than 10 minutes. I was able to pick it up the next day. Perfect. And the price was very fair. It was admittedly fun to pull my pickup into their warehouse next to huge semi trucks, with cranes overhead that could have picked up my entire truck like a toy. (Can you tell my inner 7 year old was thrilled?) So, if you need a custom piece of steel, these folks can do anything. Think countertops, backsplash, table tops.....or perhaps building a bridge. They do all sorts of metal processing and cutting.
