Heavy Metal: The Nuts And Bolts Of Foundaries

My name is Jimmy Petersen. I grew up in the inner city with a dinosaur from a previous era next door.

The men who worked there always kept me safe, but happily let me watch them stoke up fires and pour molten metal. This foundry specialised in making nuts and bolts for factories with old machinery.

I'm a designer these days so I remain captivated by the manufacturing process, particularly metal products. Perhaps this site can enlighten you about the complexity behind everyday items.
