Copper Finials

Copper Dormers

Cooper treatment for a set of dormers. The copper was pre-weathered to look black.

Skull assemblage

I've met all kinds of people over the net over the years, some are patrons, some have turned into good friends. Recently I was contacted by Rick Sturtz at www.sturtzdesign.com. After seeing my work he was moved enough to send me a few samples of retro-industrial lighting, the type that I have used in some of my lighting. Rick has amassed an impressive collection of similar lights and is still going.

I'm not sure yet what my plans are for these incredible specimens, but I'll keep everyone including rick posted.

The making of a fire poker

Chainsaws!

Who doesn't love the lines and implications of a chainsaw. A local friend and small engine mechanic who often barters metalwork for repairs to all my small engines donated these chainsaw heads that were destined for the scrap heap. I'm not sure If I'm going to reassemble them or just clean them up and turn them into lamps. Check out Don's cool Youtube channel where he posts videos on engine repairs. He also takes repair questions from viewers and will try to make a short video on how to complete the task. A very cool Idea. 

Fire Poker Day

With winter in Muskoka not quite over yet I decided to 

warm up the shop today with the forge and banged out a few 

fire poker designs.

Twist samples

A selection of some railing pickets I have used in railings. 

Most are either 1" or 3/4" square stock. The pictures 

don't do them justice.

Aluminum Sculpture

Annie Veitch (another talented Muskoka artist), and I worked on this commissioned piece together. Made from aluminum, with copper accents, It stands over 6' tall. It will eventually sit on a piece of granite and be lit from the base.

Spark Plug Lamp

I've made some changes to the spark plug lamp. It could be used as either a pendant light or a small table lamp. Look for it Etsy.com shortly.
