Joist brackets

Artsy joist hanger brackets. 2x3x1/4 angle, 1/4 inch thick forged elements. 12 x 19 inch overall. Decorative  rivets on the base plate for some industrial texture. Handmade square nuts. Full penetration weldments with preheated 7018 rod, blended and textured. Finished with beeswax, pastewax,linseed and turpentine mix. Beats the hell out of galvanized Simpson brackets, tell you what. The extra bolts up the run satisfy earthquake code, and eliminate the need for another ugly galvinized strap. These brackets add a personality to an already unique open beam house.
