Audi Metal Work Inc

Across Liberty Avenue, the clang of metal still shapes neighborhoods the way it once did in Queens. Audi Metal Work Inc carries that tradition forward, wedged between brick storefronts and the elevated train line. Here, iron becomes utility and structure, its transformation laid bare in a borough that still builds things by hand.

The workshop sits at 182-04 Liberty Ave, two blocks from the subway turnstile and half a mile from Kennedy International Airport’s flight paths. Through the open bay, passersby glimpse cut rebar, bent plates, and the skeletal frames of bridges that could stretch from one Queens block to the next.

Whether you need ornamental work for a brownstone stoop or full architectural iron assemblies, the shop’s equipment speaks to earlier design methods. From custom fabrications to restorative pieces, the workflow stays hands-on: measurements are taken in inches, joints are tightened by torque, and sketches are taped to the workbench.
