Brackets - Where did you source the cable brackets from. Very cool! »

Kenny Craft, CNU LEED AP The brackets were actually custom designed and fabricated by a local (Buena Vista, CO) steel artist named Jim Butler of MillStream Ironworks... I might recommend looking him up and getting a quote... Let me know if you can't track him down and I'll send you some contact info... - Kenny

More work by metalworker Jim Butler has contributed many of the fine details to this home. On the exterior, he repurposed an old ski lift cable from Breckenridge into a railing. "This was a perfect solution for the curved wall," says Craft.

A former ski lift cable has a new life as a clever railing in Colorado. It's fun to recognize a familiar object like this in an unexpected place.

Who says a worn-out ski cable is destined for the trash heap? This salvaged one, speckled with rust, forms an industrial-style handrail on an outdoor staircase.
