This happy couple will be on display in November of 2026 at Mossman Hall’s metal art exhibit. I’ve always wanted to do a piece that the viewer could interact with. I’m tired of all the “Do Not Touch” signs!

I started this piece in 2012. I added a few pieces over the years then left it to collect rust and dust on a shelf for over a dozen years. In need of sculptures for my November exhibit, I finally finished it, got rid of the rust, and gave it a nice coat of Renaissance Wax. Hopefully it will be a nice addition to a biker’s shop or man cave someday!

Fabrication is doable for me, though I must admit it’s not much fun as I am an average welder, at best. This took too long and paid too little, but it’s done and behind me. For that, I rejoice!

This wall/door insert for a local man’s aviary is kicking my butt! I understand why people buy pre-hung doors! Just have to add the screen and a latch.

This one was simple but fun. It’s a tea pick for my discerning tea drinker of a daughter. She buys tea leaves packed in tight cakes and uses this to separate the leaves before brewing.

I have an art exhibit in Melrose in November and I’m planning some sculpture that moves. I built the base for this one today and I’m excited to see how it will turn out. I never know exactly until it’s done.

Last summer I built the frames for these balconies in Micanopy, Fl. This summer I did the rails, and now the customer will paint and install plank flooring (which is worth a discount because I don’t enjoy painting). Can’t wait to see the finished space!

This piece is almost a reliquary. The glass ampoule fitted to this .50 cal. steel dummy round contains actual sand from Utah beach in Normandy. I’m sure time has washed all the American blood away, but it’s hallowed ground in my book. Wish I could keep it or make more, but I know the owner will cherish it.
