This piece is currently in progress at the shop. Its a cold bent contemporary sculpture constructed with blind welds measuring 40”h x 18”w x 12”d. When I started, my goal was to convey a human form and story with as few lines as possible. Titled “Nurture”, this piece represents a woman focused intently on an infant in her arms. In the first picture, the basic form and construction is complete. In the second, the “infant” has been added and adjustments to the woman’s head angle and arm curve make the two interact more intimately. An acid soak has cleaned all surfaces and a protective coat of oil will stabilize the piece until the finishing patina is selected and applied.
Trout Flies
Nurture
Big bait, big fish! These trout fly replicas vary in size from 10” to 16” long. Crafted from steel and copper, each fly is a scale reproduction of a classic trout fly.
Just brought this Little Giant trip hammer home. Its over 100 years old and I can’t wait to put it to work. A huge Thank You to my friend Buddy for all his help in getting this 1,800 lb toy to the forge.
Magnet Experiment
Made with high power Neodymium magnets, each of the twelve 1/16” cables suspend themselves while only attached at one point. A steel base will complete the work.
