Need some inspiration?

If you’re looking for inspiration for your next project, have a read of some of our previous competition entries. We’re sure you’ll be impressed with their ingenuity and creativity.

Andrew Carstens, our inaugural competition winner, used Edcon Steel’s aluminium products to build a beautiful twin-cylinder engine. With no plans or models to work from, Andrew built the engine completely from memory… and the results are incredible.

Then there’s our youngest competition entrant, 13-year-old Finn, who built an antenna rotator for his satellite ground station using aluminium round tube. Read more about his exciting project.

Or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, you can read about aerial acrobat Emily, who built a mobile acrobatic stage backdrop using aluminium square box (SHS). The first-time Edcon Steel customer, and first-time welder, spoke to us about her impressive project.

And finally, our most recent winner, Philip Sticklen, fabricated solid brass wash sinks for the new Phoenix Gallery in Chippendale, NSW. The Sydney-based designer and maker has been producing specialty pieces from his own atelier-style practice, Bespoke House, for more than 35 years. Self-trained, Philip creates bespoke furniture and architectural fittings, and now specialises in fabrication of brass products.

Great business to deal with. They are happy to cut me whatever short lengths I need and post or courier to me out in the middle of nowhere. AAA+++

Mal Birrell

Edcon Steel is a convenient, transparent way to buy steel. They have a wide range of alloys and sizes. For the needs of Plithos Renewables, Stainless Steel 316 was the go-to and parts could be cut to length. It is very easy to do business with Edcon Steel.

Plithos Renewables

Competitive pricing, great customer service by ALL staff members, return claims handled professionally without any 'Ifs' or 'buts'. Very friendly. They are raising the bar to a new standard in Australian retail customer service.
