My items are all made of steel, and all steel will rust at some point. Keeping them away from water, high humidity, frequent handling and not outside will help inhibit rust, but it won't prevent it. Depending on the finish chosen touch up methods will vary, but generally removing the rust with steel wool and reapplying whatever finish was used will suffice. Contact me with any further questions.

Steel is a heavy material, and the larger stock weighs much more then smaller stock. One 12" piece of 1/2" square will weigh four times as much as one 12" piece of 1/4" square. If you have any questions or concerns about the weight or size of an item please contact me. I will be able to get you an exact weight/size of the item so you can ensure it will meet your needs.
