For the past ten years, the Joyworks studio has provided a platform for research, teaching and creative endeavors relating to metals. Everything from alloy development to casting prototypes to sculpture have been, and continue to be, created at Joyworks. It provides an outlet for Chip to share his passion for the art (and science) of metal casting. All in all, Joyworks puts a new spin on the continuing development of one of man’s oldest professions.
Joyworks has its roots in Applied Process, Inc, which John Keough started with his family in 1978. Applied Process is a heat treater specializing in the Austempering process. They help their customers to replace one material/process combination with a better, faster, cheaper one. From when we built Joyworks in 2005, we have maintained a strong partnership with Applied Process, aiding them with research and development. Joyworks was spun off from Applied process in 2013 to continue and expand upon this tradition. John Keough sold the majority shares of Applied Process in October 2014. We still share the same goal of “growing the pie” for ADI and work closely together to do so. To learn more about the “Home of Hostile Duck Iron”, please visit their website.
Today, Joyworks maintains its original mission of providing educational opportunities to engineering students while focusing more heavily on design and prototyping for clients ranging from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), foundries, suppliers, and trade organizations.

5 out of 5 starsI am blown away! I love how this came out. The team was very patient with me and allowed me to work closely with them to refine the design so it was Exactly what I wanted. They were very good at explaining what would/wouldn't work for the design and how the making process would effect it. The final product is beautiful. The outside is slightly rough and I love the tiny (expected) imperfections that are a result of the casting process. The inside texture reminds me of the quality you see in very smooth handmade slab pottery.

5 out of 5 starsThank you Joyworks!! The team was so great with customizing the design and delivery was super timely. This was a wedding gift for a couple who loves to cook; the groom said it was the best gift ever and they can't wait to pass it down to their future kids. Highly recommended!!

5 out of 5 starsOne of a kind pan. Perfect for an alum. Smooth cooking surface. Handle is longer than the average handle on a cast iron pan which makes it more ergonomic and functional.
