Steel Krazy
Steel Krazy was founded in 2010 with the vision of "If you can imagine it, we can build it." We’ve learned to be cautious with that phrase. Over time, we’ve created many things that truly stretch the imagination. Primarily focused on fabrication and products for other artists, Steel Krazy offers a wide range of possibilities and products. The 5' x 10' CNC plasma table gives us the ability to create countless items while maintaining reasonable pricing.
We maximize the use of remnant steel, transforming it into marketable products, which helps keep costs low. This approach also opened up new opportunities, including the Reclaimed Angels project. Steel Krazy was the birthplace of Reclaimed Angels.
Reclaimed Angels
Reclaimed Angels started as a growing concept focused on repurposing and reclaiming materials that would otherwise be sent for recycling. The Reclaimed Angels Project emerged from this same idea, but instead of reclaiming materials, we decided to focus on reclaiming lives. We began offering paid apprenticeships where individuals could learn a trade, earn an income, and gain insight into the business side of the industry.
The program is designed as a stepping stone for people in recovery from addiction, those exiting jail or homelessness, individuals aging out of the foster care system, and particularly veterans transitioning back into civilian life after military service. It’s all about providing a Hand UP, not a Hand OUT.
The Japanese art of Kintsugi perfectly embodies the mission of Reclaimed Angels. When a ceramic piece is broken, instead of discarding it, it’s repaired with gold. This highlights the fractures and, in doing so, makes the piece more valuable than it was before, because of its scars. Our goal is to help people reclaim their lives and fulfill their true potential.
