I make a wide variety of items by hand hammering on the anvil, using coal or a propane forge to heat the steel.
If you can imagine it, and draw it, I might be able to make it. As my father said, however "The impossible
just takes longer." There is a little bit of art in all of what I do, I can hardly do things simple. I like
to embelish and pretty things up ... to this end I will probably die a poor man.
Call these things, sculpture, tools, art, junk, whatever you wish. I enjoy hammering and making doo-dads and thingamabobs.

There will always be something new or even old that I want to try. I am eager to try things that I have not done
before. There is nothing too difficult, I just might not have the time or tools to get there when you need things.
Let me know what you want and then lets see what we can come up with. Draw it, send me a picture of something like what you want, type up a description and lets see where the journey takes up. With or without a map, let's take a treck. |
"Armadillion II"This is a cross betwixt an armadillo and a scropion. This was inspired by a scoprion designed by James Ryan and an armadillo bracelet from a "Children's Highlights" article. |
