Water Jet Cutting a Compass Rose

Take A Photo Tour Of How We Waterjet Cut A Compass Rose

Designed by Frank Todd, Landscape Architect, Rowley, MA, Cassidy Bros. Forge was commissioned to create this 3 foot diameter compass rose. And Frank’s design specified that we were to create this from one piece of 2-3/4 inch thick bluestone.

From the landscape architect’s architectural drawing, our in-house engineering staff created the AutoCAD line design. We printed the AutoCAD design full size for the client to review.

And then we began the work… etching, cutting, fitting, polishing…
