Oriental Metal Works

You can find us at No. 22 Moti Nagar in Sodepur. Oriental Metal Works has been in this spot for quite some time. It’s a noisy place with the sound of hammers hitting metal all day long. We work with steel, iron, and whatever else needs cutting or welding. The floor is always covered in scraps and the smell of hot metal is everywhere. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. We make gates, frames, and small parts for other machines. Some days we have a lot of work and the sparks are flying until late at night. Other days it’s a bit quieter and we spend time cleaning the machines or organizing the stock. We don't have a fancy showroom with lights. It’s just a workshop where things get built. Most of us have been working here since we were young. Our hands are calloused and we usually have grease under our nails. People come to us because they know we don't charge for things they don't need. We just look at the job, give a price, and get to it. Sometimes the delivery truck gets stuck in the narrow lane, but we manage. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but the work we do is solid and it lasts. That's about all there is to it, really, just keeping the hammer moving every day.
