Brothers Anthony and Rob DiVito, the founders of custom furniture shop iRcustom, make their return to The Fabricator Podcast to offer more transparent insight into small business ownership in the metal fabrication industry. This time, they brought with them a coffee table for our revamped studio.
We chat about the fabrication details of that project and what's new with their Chicago-area business. The discussion covers how they've gone away from relying too much on vertical integration, exploring more outsourcing opportunities with partners like @PrecisionTubeLaser , implementing more 3D-printed prototyping and fixtures, technology advancements in the fabrication industry, the growing pains of running a small shop, and more.
At the top, the guys talk about @ahrendtdirk , a Germany-based fabricator and tool maker. Dirk, who goes by The Metalist, has created an awesome line of hammers shaped like a fist and axes shaped like an open hand.
