Wil Midgley has been a noted certified welder in the Pittsburgh, PA area for more than 20 years. He has a 32-year background in metal and pipe fabrication and can weld any type of metal.
The progression into metal sculpting came two years ago when a neighbor approached him to teach her how to weld. He continues to instruct a welding class during the warmer months.
Metal being a pliable medium that works well with his imagination and skills, led to the creation of "Sal", his inspiration from the request of his daughter Morgan "to make something with a scorpion tail". "Sal" joins a growing number of both abstract wall and garden art.
Railings that are both decorative and functional for clients such as Salon Cercone of Shadyside,add to the flourishing list of commissioned pieces generated by his new business Hot Metal Jacket.
Wil designs custom metal gates, railings and fences for both landscape and interior use. He also offers a complete package that includes design, fabrication and installation of your personal art.
