Paul Stasiak, the artist/machinist behind PSD Products Titanium Art,
operates his craft from a small workshop located in The Indian Orchard
Mills in Massachusetts. With a passion for working with various
materials, Stasiak has a particular affinity for titanium. He began his
journey in machining during high school and completed a machine shop
program in 1987. Even before graduating, Stasiak was already involved in
a co-op program at a machine shop. Over the years, he gained experience
working at different shops until he eventually established his own.
Stasiak's technical expertise in the machining industry is leveraged
to create truly unique artistic products. With just one lathe, one
milling machine, a sandblaster, a heat treating oven, and a few small
bench tools, he operates his one-man shop. From the initial stages to
the final touches, every PSD item is entirely crafted by Stasiak
himself, including the packaging. Many of his creations are produced in
limited quantities, adding to their exclusivity.
The PSD logo, which features Stasiak's initials in a double infinity
helix, has been a part of his artwork for many years, even predating his
work with titanium. This logo is proudly displayed on all of his
machined titanium items. Given that titanium boasts corrosion resistance
similar to that of gold and is virtually infinite, the logo's symbolism
aligns perfectly with the material. Stasiak takes delight in the fact
that his creations have the potential to endure on Earth for thousands
of years.
For those who share images of Stasiak's products on Instagram, he
encourages the use of the hashtag #psdtitanium, allowing him to find and
appreciate their posts.
