Executing wrought iron shapes is a manual and collective work that depends on each individual's skills, tools, and modern equipment while having knowledge of engineering principles and precise calculations. Through our many years of work, we have met many blacksmith craftsmen whom we respect and appreciate their work and dedication. Our opinion is that any blacksmith can cut iron rods and weld them into simple shapes, mostly straight. You will notice that most of their workplaces are equipped for simple works with small workshop spaces and simple tools. However, wrought iron shapes and designs require special and modern tools, different skills, engineering principles, drawing, heating iron, precise calculations, and it is difficult to find all these skills in one blacksmith. In other words, it depends on the blacksmith's actual ability to possess the skills, tools, and execution capabilities rather than his desire to execute. Anyone who thinks otherwise should prove to himself that he is dealing with someone capable of producing wrought iron by following these steps: Ask the craftsman to draw the required shape in actual size according to the actual dimensions agreed upon, as shown in the picture and product drawing.

If he cannot draw in actual size, ask him to execute one unit (one balcony unit, one window unit, one door leaf, or one meter of the staircase) as a sample to ensure his ability to execute the required shape in harmony with the actual dimensions of your site, as in the picture of the door leaf at the bottom of the page. Ask him to show you his workplace, space, tools, and equipment, and make sure there is a heating furnace necessary for heating and shaping iron. If he refuses, know that you are dealing with someone with modest experience and tools, and the best he can make is shown in the picture below from a straight iron shape filled with symmetrical shapes, and he may use thick iron cuts to sell the product by weight. Therefore, you should pay a small deposit to ensure you are dealing with professional wrought iron craftsmen and not deceive yourself expecting professional work from a simple worker. You should know that you will be drawn into an unclear agreement that does not specify the total price of the product, and you will end up paying a higher financial value for a large amount of iron by weight in exchange for his work.
