Colorado Springs' Premier Iron Rails & Metalworks Craftsmen
The Ornamental Man
Custom Iron & Metalwork
30+ years of forging premium iron rails, staircases, gates, and architectural iron metalworks. Our showroom is open to the public for drop-in visits Monday through Friday, 8am–2:30pm. More than a trade, it's our art.
Behind the Craft
Where Fire MeetsVision
For over three decades, The Ornamental Man has shaped Colorado Springs in steel, blending structural integrity with artistic expression in every custom iron piece we build.
In the last five years, owner Tim has grown that vision further, expanding our offerings with more innovative, modern designs and updated capabilities, all without losing the handcrafted soul of the work. We don't just weld. We sculpt in steel.
Our shop runs on in-house CAD design. From the first sketch to the final install, we handle it all, guiding you start to finish. Visit the showroom, open to the public for drop-in visits Monday through Friday, 8am–2:30pm, to see what's possible for your home.
