These trash cans are made to be bear proof- they're virtually indestructible. The city and the county seems to have hired these guys to do a bunch of their work around this part of the state- you can see their distinctive style all over. They do that iconic Yellowstone look of silhouettes of mountainous animals like bears, elk or eagles for light fixtures or even the lowly recycling bin. They also do powder coating here! This operation is quite impressive, with the amount of metalwork that they're spinning out of this shop on Broadway, you can see their work everywhere around town!

You'll see their work all around town - from the bear-proof, yet decorative, trash cans on Broadway, to the fantastic gates to the Double Ditch dog park (if you have pups you need to take them there!!), to what seems like a bazillion of the business signs in the region. Enter the shop and you'll find an eclectic mix of work - utilitarian simple pieces, complex custom designs, Montana-centric tables, repurposed/reclaimed ski benches and humor (my fave amidst the cowboy and western "Welcome" signs is the similar but contrary "Go Away" sign). Still, our favorite piece is the custom coat/clothes rack with our son's name - works perfectly in his room and will last longer than any of us. Alanna and Mick, thanks again - wonderful work!
