Panchal Steel Letter Art

We work out of a place in Fatehpura, specifically in the Kumbharwada area. Our workshop is in Darbar Bhuvan, tucked away in the lane opposite the Meldi Mata Mandirs. It’s a traditional kind of spot with a lot of history. We specialize in steel letters, so there is a lot of cutting and grinding noise coming from our shop throughout the day. There’s usually metal dust on the floor and scraps of steel in the bins. It’s hard work on the hands, but we’ve been doing it this way for years. We don’t use a lot of high-tech machines, mostly just hand tools and some basic cutters. The lane is narrow, so it’s always a bit of a squeeze when we have to move big signs out for delivery. We’ve got a couple of guys who are really good with the welding torches. People come to us from all over the city when they want something that will last a long time. Steel is tough, so it takes a lot of patience to get the shapes right. We don’t have a big office or anything like that. It’s just the workshop and a small bench where we take orders and talk to clients. The temple nearby brings a lot of peace to the area, even with all our noise. It’s a good place to be, and the community in Kumbharwada looks out for each other. We are just local craftsmen doing our thing.
