We've been busy getting ready for our first ever market! Come and check us out for some ready made signs for Christmas presents, or to have a chat about the custom project you've been thinking about. Apparently the weather is supposed to improve throughout the afternoon, so come over and have a look. Or of course, feel free to send us a message anytime to discuss your project or place an order!

This 3-metre firewood rack was custom made to suit our customer’s home. They’ll be adding paint and a corrugated iron roof – built tough and designed to last through all seasons 🔥👍

I've been a little slow on the facebook posts these last few weeks... we've been busy getting married!! 🥂🩵🌸 It took some time and planning, and was all so, so worth it! 💞

Now officially , and excited to show you over my next few posts some of the plasma cut beauties that were a part of our wedding and reception! Xx

(Some of these photos courtesy of Fotisto photography and videography, some from our guests, and the photos of our new property sign for "RustyLee" are my own!)

Cheers,
Russell and Lee-Anne

Just an appreciation post for this bit of gear! I don't put the bins out very often*, but Russell was unexpectedly away on bin night, and it was so easy to get the bins down our long hilly driveway by myself using the bin trailer he built!

I actually attached it to the landcruiser, because I'm not confident with the MacGyvered pliers attachment that is how you currently change gears on the quad 😂 But the trailer is so easy to manoeuvre that I could drag it out from behind the shed on foot to get it to the car, when I wasn't confident that I could drive the car along behind the shed. I know, there's a lot of confidence lacking in this story, but I usually have someone here to do it all for me!

Long story to say, I love our bin trailer, and if you have a long driveway to get your bins down, you probably would too! May not be a priority this close to Christmas, but keep it in mind! There's a video of it in action a bit further down our page 👍

*Literally the 2nd time in the 3 years we have lived here that I have taken the bins down by myself. Both times have been since the bin trailer was built! My brother has actually taken the bins out for us way more often, when he's been looking after things while we're away! 🤫😜

A brilliant, sturdy little pedestrian bridge to be placed across a V-drain on a mine site. We designed and fabricated this for concreting company, Ballyvannon Construction, who needed safe pedestrian access across their construction area on the mine site, that will then stay in place across the V-drain once the work is completed.

Comparison photos with Russell's first bridge project, back in 2019. So, really, for any project, big or small, give him a call! 😉👌

The original pipe skids on this slasher had worn through and instead of helping things slide were digging in and making things less slidey instead of more! Russell smoothed out the edges and replaced them with flat wear plates to get things moving again. The business has upgraded and bought a replacement, but this one is now fully functional again, and ready as backup.

When Russ tells you to watch your head. Thanks honey, I'm good! 😂

Another productive day working with All Seasons Irrigation last week, welding replacement fittings to this centre pivot irrigator after the rusted and broken old ones had been cut off. Getting it back to top shape!

Adding the Hepworth Plasma Craft side of our business to our local signage at Elderslie, and advertising our custom made signs!

Hey legends! If you’ve got 30 seconds and zero dollars, I've got a mission for you:

Head over to our business page: Hepworth Plasma Craft (and maybe Hepworth Metalworks too, if you happen to have 2x30 seconds!)
Hit the 3 dots… (yes, those dots)
Tap on “Invite Friends”
Go wild with “Invite All”
Bask in the glory of your good deed ✅
Amazing! You’ve just given our business a boost without spending a cent. 🙌🏻

And hey, while we're talking, far out I HATE that Facebook doesn't always show you our posts. To fix that, make sure to like (or comment, or share!) any posts that you do see. It really helps! 💗

Thanks for backing our "Plasma Craft" business! Your support for what is currently a side-gig could be the difference between both of us living the self-employed dream, or Lee-Anne one day having to get a real job 😂

P.S. yep, the concept behind this message is copied - and then majorly modified 😜 - but man, we really do appreciate it!

Thanks a million!
