Bay West LLC Forges Ahead with Durable, Handcrafted Iron Brackets, Redefining Home & Commercial Support Solutions

Saint Paul, MN – October 26, 2023 – Bay West LLC, a Minnesota-based manufacturer quietly gaining a reputation for quality and craftsmanship, is making waves in the building and renovation world with their line of forged iron brackets. Located at 5 Empire Dr, Saint Paul, MN, 55103-1856, and reachable at 201-259-4941, Bay West isn’t just making brackets – they're building support you can trust. For years, Bay West LLC has been a behind-the-scenes player, supplying custom metal fabrication for a range of industries. But they've recently doubled down on their forged iron bracket line, responding to a clear demand for durable, aesthetically pleasing, and genuinely built-to-last supports. “We saw a gap in the market,” says a Bay West representative. “Too many brackets out there are flimsy, quickly rust, or just look…well, cheap. We thought, ‘We can do better than that.’ And we did.” What Makes Bay West Brackets Different? It's All About the Forge. The key to Bay West’s success isn't fancy marketing or complicated designs. It's a return to traditional metalworking. They forge their brackets – meaning they shape the iron while it’s hot, using traditional blacksmithing techniques. This isn't some automated stamping process. Each bracket benefits from the skill of experienced craftsmen. “Forging makes the iron stronger,” explains lead fabricator, Mark Hanson. “It aligns the grain of the metal, eliminating weak points. You get something that’s significantly more robust than anything cast or stamped. It’s like the difference between a hand-cut steak and something processed.” Beyond Strength: A Focus on Aesthetics While strength is paramount, Bay West understands that looks matter. Their brackets aren't just functional; they’re designed to enhance the visual appeal of any project. “We wanted something that wouldn't hide behind your work, but would complement it,” says the Bay West representative. “Whether you're building a rustic farmhouse table, a modern shelving unit, or a commercial display, our brackets should add to the overall aesthetic.” Currently, Bay West offers a growing range of bracket styles, including: Traditional Scroll Brackets: These classic designs, with elegant curves and flourishes, are perfect for adding a touch of vintage charm to any project. They’re proving incredibly popular with DIY furniture builders and restorers. “People love the look,” says Hanson. “It brings a bit of old-world craftsmanship to whatever they’re building.” Hammered Finish Brackets: These brackets feature a textured, hand-hammered finish, creating a rugged, industrial look. Ideal for barn-style doors, outdoor shelving, and any project where a raw, authentic aesthetic is desired. Simple L-Brackets (Heavy Duty): Don't let the simplicity fool you. These brackets are built like tanks. Designed for supporting heavy loads, they are a go-to choice for commercial applications, like display stands and shelving in retail environments. Custom Bracket Design: Can’t find exactly what you need? Bay West specializes in custom fabrication. They work directly with clients to create brackets tailored to their specific project requirements. “We’ve built brackets for everything from elaborate wrought-iron gates to unique architectural details,” says the representative. Real-World Applications: From Kitchens to Commercial Spaces Bay West brackets are finding their way into a wide variety of applications. Homeowners are using them to build custom shelving units, support kitchen islands, and create unique furniture pieces. “We’ve seen a lot of people using our brackets for open shelving in kitchens,” says Hanson. “They look great and are strong enough to hold everything.” But it's not just residential projects. Bay West is also gaining traction in the commercial sector. Retail stores are using their heavy-duty brackets to create display stands and shelving. Restaurants are using them to build unique bar supports and shelving units. One recent project involved supplying brackets for a large outdoor farmers market. “They needed something that could withstand the elements and support the weight of heavy displays,” says the Bay West representative. “Our brackets were a perfect fit.” Quality & Durability: Built to Last a Lifetime Bay West doesn't cut corners when it comes to materials or craftsmanship. They use only high-quality forged iron and employ skilled craftsmen who take pride in their work. “We believe in building things that last,” says Hanson. “We don’t want people having to replace our brackets after a few years. We want them to be something that can be passed down to future generations.” All Bay West brackets are finished with a durable, weather-resistant coating to protect against rust and corrosion. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
