Steel Point

Steel Point is located over in Shukrawar Peth at No.132 893. It’s one of those narrow streets where trucks are always trying to back in and out. Our shop is full of metal. We have stacks of steel sheets, rods, and various bits of hardware everywhere you look. It’s quite heavy work and your hands get dirty within the first five minutes of being here. I took over from my uncle and not much has changed since then. We spend a lot of time measuring things out and cutting them to size for people who are building something or fixing a gate. The sound of metal hitting metal is something you just get used to after a while. Sometimes it’s hot in the back, especially during the summer months when the roof holds all that heat in. We don't have a big front office or anything like that. People just walk in, tell us what they need for their project, and we see if we can find it in the piles. It’s a bit disorganized sometimes, I’ll admit, but we usually know exactly where everything is located. We aren't trying to be the biggest supplier around. We just handle the local orders and keep the machines maintained so they don't break down when we are right in the middle of a big job. It's honest work that keeps us on our feet throughout the week.
