About Simple Iron & Wood Products
Simple Iron and Wood Products began in 1977 in Corpus Christi. It was stopped for several years and restarted in Austin, Texas in 1984, where and when the shop indian (that's me Dan Vera) was going to college.
After becoming dissatisfied with the professional career, SIWP was opened again this time in Corpus Christi.
The design manufacturing is done with a sense of style, originality, utility, and reasonableness of cost. All this tempered by a sense of reasonableness. By that I mean no high cost finishes or techniques are used. Little chips in the wood products are filled with putty and sanded down. Although we do take care not to foul the project by careless handling of material; still the nature of soft wood is that it chips. Usually spray on or brush on paints and stains are used. No chrome finishes or exotic woods are used. As the company name says "Simple" . With regards to the iron work : the welds are always individually inspected. Welds are ground down or dressed with an angle grinder or a file and cleaned with a wire brush. Ocassionally a weld cannot be reached by these techniques and it is left alone. Weld spatter is brushed off and chipped off with a chipping hammer and a cold chisel. Sometimes a small pinhead sized spatter gets by without being removed. These usually fall off or get knocked off during normal wear and use of the piece. Usually a light blasting medium is applied with pnuematic pressure prior to painting.
