Welcome to My Studio and Shop!

Hi!
I'm Billy Pace and I create, fabricate and design custom pieces in wood and/or metal for collectors, business owners, designers, corporations and mall displays.

What a great job! My studio and shop home base is in the Raleigh, NC area but my work has been installed in venues from California to Las Vegas to Bermuda to way down in Miami.

My pieces range from practical problem solving welding for small business owners to beautiful and creative, seasonal designs for malls. I've worked with numerous nationally known theatrical groups to design sets for their plays and dances.

Like I said, it's a great job!
Come along with me while I add to my photos and develop my gallery. You never know what I'll be creating next!

Bringing old wrought iron back to life

The old wrought iron gates and fences are disappearing across the country. Some are re-purposed but others wind up in the dumps or rusting in the grass.

My mom found this one a while ago at a flea market and it sat until I figured that the perfect Mother's Day present would be to do some minor repairs and makes hinges and latches and hang it in her garden.


She sent me this photo. Hard to find anything much prettier!

The new Green-Metal Trees





































This is one of several large metal trees that I fabricated for a stage production. I'll post the very cool "grass" that I also fabricated later.
What is difficult to see is the intricate "bark" that I created on the tree limbs.

 I do a lot of these creative pieces in between the functional ironwork that I also do. I'll post photos shortly of a commercial rail job that I just completed at the Raleigh Durham airport.
