Reclaimed Steel Shadow-Play Panels
Use the nibbler with a fresh 8-gauge punch to carve organic or geometric patterns into reclaimed steel sheets. Layer panels with spacers so sunlight or backlighting casts dynamic shadows on walls in lofts, patios, or galleries.
Heavy-Duty Outdoor Signage
Nibble bold letterforms and logos from 8-gauge plate for farm gates, trailheads, or shop fronts. Add standoff mounts and powder coat for a long-lasting, vandal-resistant sign with crisp, heat-free edges.
Custom Vent and Acoustic Screens
Create repeating perforation patterns that function as vent grilles, radiator covers, or acoustic diffusers. The robust 8-gauge material resists denting while the nibbled pattern boosts airflow and visual appeal.
Off-Road Armor Accents
Cut lightening holes, dimple patterns, and clearance cutouts in skid plates, rocker guards, and bumper infill panels. The replacement punch ensures clean, controlled cuts in thick material without warping.
Industrial Lighting Fixtures
Produce perforated lamp shades, sconces, and pendant cages from 8-gauge steel. Nibbled patterns create intricate light spill while the thick stock gives a premium, rugged feel.
