FOSTER WELD would not be what it is today, if it weren't for the awesome customers that buy our merch.
Today's blog is a shout out to Sullivan McConnell who made August's best buyer list for FOSTER WELD. I mean check it out, McConnell knows how to shop with style with the purchase of four hand made metal buckles, each with their own uniqueness. Buckles alone are just sad so of course the purchase of two belts followed. Our fan favorite, the distressed white belt, and the bold distressed pink belt.
The month of August is over, but September is here and waiting for this months best buyer....it could be you!

Growing up in a family of five, I tried to get out of as many chores as possible. I would always give a task to my younger brother or sister telling them mom told them to do it. Which of course, she told ME to do. If that didn't work, and they saw through my lies...I would shout the typical, "Just a second mom"....then NOT do it.OK, so I'm not saying this was the wisest of choices, but i still did it.
The
1 second belt buckle is for all those kids who ever told there mom, "yeah, just a second," so they could go and finish what was more important in that moment.
This hand made buckle is a unique steel custom design with a pretty sweet green color, that has three slashes, kinda like the licks I got after taking more then a second to respond to my mom. This awesome buckle is a reminder of the moments worth not doing chores for.

I think that if I could freeze frame an hour everyday and have it repeat, it would be the sun rise. I just love sun rises. Nothing is more perfect then drinking a cup of coffee, and watching the sun come up over trees, mountains, or ocean water. Each one brings new beginnings.
This is
FOSTERWELD's new begining...our new Rising sun buckle. Its a little different from the other rising sun buckle because you get to see the whole sun, and not just a peek. Check out both, and see which unique buckle fits your style best.

Today's blog should be read in an announcer's voice for emphasis. TODAY IS PROMOTION DAY!!!!!!!
Get the attention you deserve. The
Foster Weld "HOLY" belt buckle will truly grab any eye. From friends staring at you, to strangers talking about you behind your back, this is attention you want.
This cool hand made belt buckle can be rocked with just about any outfit.

What's a belt buckle tho, without an awesome belt to go with it?
Look no further. This
custom red distressed belt is a perfect match for that eye catching look you just have to get.
Both are just clicks away from being yours!

This "
THREE O" belt buckle, is dedicated to men and woman alike turning 30. Chris made this belt when he turned thirty, and this would make a great 30 year old gift to yourself, or someone you love.
Twenty's are gone, and a new life has started so why not make a change with a new style. Ever worn a belt buckle? Ever worn a belt buckle that was hand made, not from china?
Now, for those who already love the classic belt buckle, this custom buckle is great to expand your stylish collection. Let's branch out people!

Let's fall in
LOVE. Who doesn't love being in love. Today's blog is all about buckle love. There truly is nothing more exciting then getting a new belt buckle, and wearing it with your favorite pair of jeans. Or for you ladies out there, your skinny jeans.
I can remember the first time I ever wore a belt buckle. In all honesty I did not even know how to put a belt buckle on. After my pride had been bruised, I came to an understanding how why people love belt buckles.
Here are some reasons:
1. Belt buckles are the perfect accessory to draw the "OOOHHS"and "AAAAHHHS" from friends, family, and of course strangers, which you may or may not want to be looking.
2. Belt buckles made from metal, already distressed, only getting better the more times you wear them.
3. Belt buckles are like wearing pieces of art, that travel with you, that you can change anytime.
4. Belt buckles are a classic, that will never die.
5. Above all...Belt buckles allow you to express, whether that be your style, your mood, or your weird personality, you can't express any other way.
"BLISS" by definition is extreme happiness, or Ecstasy. It can even mean spiritual joy.
Personally, this is one of my favorite belt buckles that
FOSTER WELD makes. The Buckle itself is hand crafted metal, with sweet random designs. The swift angles edged into the buckle, seem to draw the eye in and get lost. Isn't that what true bliss is, getting lost in happiness, or Ecstasy where you can't tell right side up from down. Its like falling in love. The blissfulness of meeting your buckle for the first time, to getting your heart broken by the accidental chance someone steals it from you or, shamefully you lose it.
At least you know buckle "BLISS" can be found again at FOSTER WELD and maybe you can find a new love.
Unify is a product,
FOSTER WELD makes for a company called Planet Soul, Inc. Rhonda, is the woman that came up with the logo, and we put her dream into action.

This week, we used stencils, which seriously takes more time then you think. This was followed by tedious whole cutting, and metal placement. To have the end result of AWESOMENESS! (yes that's a word)
We love being apart of small companies just wanting to get their ideas made into realities. If you want to buy custom merchandise, or as the cool kids say, "merch", from FOSTER WELD, email us at fosterweld2@gmail.com

The color BLACK truly is one of my favorite colors. That may sound strange, but here's why.
For one black makes everyone look slim, and who doesn't like to look skinny?
Two, its the color that NEVER goes out of style. I bet cavemen even wore black, and ROCKED it.
Three, this
"BLACK" belt buckle, from FOSTER WELD will also make any attire worth wearing.
Truth is, once you go black, you never go back.
Let's all welcome CURVE to the
FOSTER WELD belt buckle collection. This STYLISH belt buckle is completely hand made in the U.S.A. and paired with one of our rockin distressed OLIVE green leather belt.

Many people are eschewing traditional, wood furniture in favor of brushed metal furniture, to decorate their more modern and contemporary homes. Having metal furniture can provide a sleek and modern look to any room. Metal furniture can make a small room seem bigger than it is. Light reflects off metal surfaces, making a room seem brighter and larger. Also, metal furniture seems to take up less space visually than heavy, dark woods. Metal furniture can also look fantastic in a traditional home, blending futuristic elements in with traditional styles to create a fresh and interesting look.
Because stainless steel contains chromium, steel frame furniture can be used indoors or outside, combining beauty and practicality into one piece of furniture. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and stains. Maintenance is easy, requiring only a quick wipe with a damp cloth. Stainless steel furniture can come with a highly reflective finish or a brushed finish that mutes and subdues the shine off of the surface.
Buying contemporary steel furniture can be tough to do locally unless you live in a big city. Instead of spending hours looking in your city for furniture that probably isn't there, begin your search online. Fosterweld is a great resource to begin shopping for metal furniture. At Fosterweld, you can choose from a variety of metal furniture options to find one that best suits your decorating needs. If you can't find what you are looking for, Fosterweld also offers custom designed solutions that are sure to fit your requirements.
Fosterweld should be your first and last stop when you are looking for the best in metal furniture. Searching the website will lead you to many options that will look great and be practical for your home. Take a look today to get your furniture delivered as quickly as possible.
Fosterweld’s contemporary steel furniture has a unique flair that would be a wonderful addition to any modern and urban home. Many of the quality pieces are constructed from metal. The metals are welded into elaborate and original designs that would be a wonderful addition to any loft. The designs lend themselves to lofts because of the wide range of design elements that lofts tend to possess. Metal against exposed brick or wood makes for an interesting and stunning juxtaposition in the home. Likewise, the chic, contemporary art may blend well in a minimalist’s home with other modern décor.
The brushed metal furniture consists of a range of styles. Consumers may purchase wall hangings or steel framed mirrors in a variety of shapes and colors. Metal stands and entertainment centers are also available for use. This furniture is not for those who desire traditional décor. This steel frame furniture is designed for the individual who wants to make a statement in the home. A person who has an “edgy” taste in furniture and color will desire this type of décor. Many of the designs work best against a bold colored or textured wall. The furniture also blends well with painted polished concrete or hardwood floors.
Our artists put special effort into creating each design by hand. Consumers will not find similar pieces in traditional department stores. Each of the designs is innovative and novel. The designs are durable and can withstand daily living. To prepare each design, the artist finishes each product with an automotive grade protective agent. This gives the design a finished look without appearing glossy. Fosterweld custom crafted furniture designs are truly conversation pieces. Individuals will comment on the intrigue created in the home from the atypical design elements.
When you're seeking unique furniture, look no further than Fosterweld. You are assured to find an item that will command the attention of each guest in your home.
Finding the classiest furniture has never been cheap. Most "good-looking" imports either fail to stand up to the tests of use and time, and until now, and it's never been easy to find sturdy alternatives. With the advent of the online marketplace, American furniture craftspeople have been able to make the results of their diligence and hard work available for mass consumption.
Shopping for urban accessories has traditionally been the privilege of those who can make it to cities like Philadelphia, LA or Chicago, where outlet shops abound with a multitude of pieces. These options are still imperfect, with overly expensive, ill-fitting, and poorly constructed love-seats, end-tables and wobbly stools dotting the inventory landscapes of outlet mall stores. Fortunately, things have really picked up in Indianapolis over the past few years, and long lasting furniture has never looked as good as it does in brushed steel. Unlike the majority of the chairs, tables and bureaus you'd easily find elsewhere, Fosterweld workers hand weld their furniture in the United States. This gives their pieces an individual flair one would more readily expect to encounter in an art museum.
Contemporary steel furniture shouldn't represent a major investment either in terms of what you're paying for it or in how far it has to travel to reach you. These two factors are often related, but you can take advantage of the fact that Fosterweld doesn't think you ought to deal with either. Affordable urban desks and unique belt buckles to match are easy to find in their store, and both can keep your home or office running without a hitch. Low key work furniture is perfect for businesses, especially when it's strong enough to take a factory-style beating.
Try taking your plans to the next level and implement your wildest design dreams with Fosterweld.
For the individual seeking a one-of-a-kind gift for the fashion connoisseur, look no further than Fosterweld unique belt buckles. The designs are original and handmade.

Whether you are looking for a great gift idea for someone on your list or you just want one of the cool belt buckles that are available, Fosterweld is the place you want to shop. This company has been supplying custom handcrafted belt buckles all around the country, from Philadelphia to Portland, Oregon.
The custom buckles that are available through Fosterweld are TIG welded giving them the strength and rugged capabilities of handling everything you have to throw its way. The bracket and loop that attaches to your belt is hand bent showing off the true craftsmanship that you can only find in honest American made products. The rounded post and prong that fits into your desired belt hole will always be an exact match because we take pride in complete cool belt buckles that work not just getting them shipped out as fast as possible. You will find that each belt buckle that we produce is never the same as another giving you a unique belt buckle production each time.
At Fosterweld we start with a solid piece of metal and handcraft the designs to meet your requests. It is our practice to spray the belt buckle with acrylic and distress it by hand. We finish our products with an automotive grade poly-cote paint that will not chip or crack like most mass produced belt buckles that you can purchase in a fashion apparel store location. It is because our products are made by hand that you will not find any two products exactly alike.
All Fosterweld products can be purchased at a variety of retail fashion apparel locations as well as online at our website. From here you will find styles to compliment any fashion outfit that you have.
Custom-buckles are a popular way to express your own style and individuality. Fosterweld makes stunning custom belt buckles, crafted in the USA (without bailout money!), each just as unique as you.
Fosterweld makes their handcrafted custom-buckles in several different, unique styles, most of which come in a variety of colors and color combinations. These aren't your average, plain metal belt buckles with some company's logo featured on them. Each RAPTURE belt buckle is fabricated by hand, with rivet-like weld marks across the surface for a unique effect. Contrary to its name, the BLACK belt buckle comes in several different colors, with a rugged scratched surface revealing another bold hue of your choice. The BLISS belt is hand-cut from American steel, with a multitude of curved, intersecting lines carefully carved into the surface, merging nature with geometry. If you're into something more simplistic, we've got you (and your belt) covered; the OVAL, COPPER, and several other pieces feature plain hammered and scratched metal that will make just as much of a statement as any of their more stylized counterparts. Fosterweld even makes a Victorian styled custom-buckle, which is brilliantly steampunk and perfect for men or women. If you'd like something less modern and structured and more elemental, the SLAG belt buckle features twisting, liquid-like pools of cold hard metal, framed just for you.
None of these sound good? Don't worry! Fosterweld has plenty of other unique belt buckles. You're bound to find something that expresses yourself perfectly. You can even pick up a handcrafted leather belt here, too. If you would like to create your own custom belt buckle with your very own design or graphic, please CONTACT US.
