About Lust

How It All Started

Valentine Stachowski went into business for himself at 17, starting small, working out of his truck with a welder and a grinder. He knew the potential he had, he set off on a path of refinement. Lust was born. 

Lust specializes in high end multi-medium projects, that is, projects that require excellent attention to detail, unmatched fabrication skill, and unusual knowledge of material properties. Lust may be recognized as an artist-engineering studio, more than your run of the mill fabrication shop. 


Pieces that come from Lust will become heirlooms. Beauty and quality are first on our list of requirements, there isn't a piece that leaves the shop without Valentine putting his hands on it first. We love creative projects and creative minds, we can't wait to hear from you.

Reviews & Feedback

We had some beautiful cement tiles from our old house that we wanted to use to create an outdoor cocktail table. With Valentine’s expertise we didn’t just get a table but we got a work of art. The tiles are supported by an expertly crafted bronze table that has an old world look as it nicely patinas into various shades of deep brown and green. The table was properly scaled to fit the size of our deck and captures its look and feel. So much so that it has become the centerpiece of our deck. We couldn’t be happier!

There aren't enough superlatives to describe my satisfaction with the new, custom fabrication made by Val and his company.  The work was superb, customer service unequaled anywhere and done quickly at a GREAT price.  I highly recommend Val for metal fabrication for marine applications.
