This is Trent Menard, the founder of Menard Metal Craft and the man who makes each of these railroad spike wall hooks by hand – along with all his other wares.
It was during this course at Shasta College that he fell in love with welding, and he went on to become a structural steel welder and fabricator.
Trent’s love for shaping, forging, and welding metals into new creations saw his found Menard Metal Craft and set up his own store online, selling everything from the railroad spike wall hooks you see here to bottle openers and a range of other homewares, like shelving units, towel hangers, door knockers, door handles, and even toilet roll holders.
Menard Metal Craft has grown rapidly in popularity, largely due to the fact that all of their products are handmade and authentic, and priced right to boot. Trent has shipped his creations to customers around the world, and his only advertising has been word of mouth.
These Menard Metal Craft railroad spike wall hooks are designed to last forever, as mentioned above they come with pyramid head screws included for quick installation and they come in three finishes – polished and raw (shown here), clear coated, and painted black.
For a small additional cost, the wall hooks can also be personalized.
You also have the option of having your hooks personalized when ordering, at an additional cost, and Trent notes that each of these hooks is made from an abandoned and reclaimed railroad spike.
