  • Creating scroll ends

  • Tempering and more!


Registration is $250 for NOMMA members and $450 for non-members. More details are available on the website at https://www.nomma.org/page/nefprofall2021. To register now, visit https://www.nomma.org/event/NEFProNov.

The 2022 Top Job Contest will open in early September, but there are a few changes you should be aware of. NOMMA is creating a printed magazine of all the 2022 Top Job entries for distribution at METALfab 2022, which will require an earlier entry deadline of Wednesday, December 1, 2021. The publication will be used to assist with onsite voting. It will also be mailed and emailed to the membership for those not in attendance.


Because of the earlier submission deadline, there is one set of entry fees of $90 per submission and $140 per joint venture. Start thinking about which of the 17 categories you will enter. Submissions must represent work completed within the past two years.

Featured Top Job Contest Winner
 
Gold: Maynard Studios

Title of Entry: Chesapeake Bay Table

Materials: Steel, bronze, and reclaimed oak

Finish: Wirebrushed steel with clear enamel topcoat

Total Labor Hours: 93

 

Maynard Studios designed this unique console table to complement a railing they made several years prior, while still standing on its ownmerits. The forged steel “sashes” and arch frieze were used to soften the table’s rectilinear shape. These features were designed to also work with elements in a favorite painting that the client wished to hang on the wall above.

Congratulations to Maynard and another gorgeous job well done!
