Finish Type: Antique patina sealed with clear lacquer and wax

Total Labor Hours: 7525

Materials: Silicon bronze

This outrageous railing was conceived by the architect, who quickly conceded that the final design of the 1/4" infill work would be decided as the artisans in the field annealed, formed, inter-connected and soldered each piece into place. Nestled in the corner of the library with little access for large parts, this non-egress staircase is elliptical on the first flight and becomes a spiral 5 feet into the second flight. Most of the custom handrail was forged in our shop in 6-foot sections. The newels are twisted bundles of 1/4" and 3/8" rod, with the tassels screwed in from the bottom. The collars and mounting bracket were machined. A single bolt passes through the newel into a pre-installed structure within the finished wood stair. That bolt was welded over to become invisible. A free-standing steel stand was clamped at each newel to hold it plumb while the handrail form was finished and then welded to the newel.

If you run your own business, you’ll have probably had many Google sessions asking questions like: "How do I get more followers on Instagram?" and "Getting people to sign up to my newsletter." The common wisdom you might find via such searches can be useful, but taking a more intuitive approach to running a business is becoming increasingly popular.
 
How you start your day affects how the rest of your day will go. As we begin 2020, this idea applies to starting your new year, too: how you start your first full week of 2020 and what habits and reflection you put into January will affect the rest of your year. Here are some ways to start your day - and keep doing them to form a habit, to start your year well.
