6L Designs Metal in Motion

6L Designs Metal in Motion

Hi, I'm Wolfgang Sixl.

After a very successful career for nearly 4 decades as a highly skilled woodworker/artisan, I started 6L Designs in 2014.
The opportunity to work with metal has ignited a new found passion and a creative outlet in this new venture.
I enjoy the process of developing solutions for challenges that I experience as I work every day in my shop.
Many of the shop tools I have made are a response to these challenges, and they help me to work efficiently and to continue to improve my developing skill set as a metal fabricator.

    No doubt it's a central tool in your workshop. 100% professional design and implementation. Gorgeous table! I have a question: what daily practice showed - 5 feet width is OK for you?

    Yes, I'm glad that I made it 10' long and 5' wide! The 5' depth has been very helpful in many instances, and I can still reach easily to the center to grab something! I would never go smaller!!!

  • @6ldesignsmetalinmotion217

    When I built this table 4 years ago, I spent close to $9,000.00 in materials, which the water jetted top plate accounted to a little over a third of that amount! Looking back, every dollar spent has paid itself back in increased efficiencies and a lot of fun working on this table on a daily basis!
