Metal and woodworking, custom art pieces. Custom hand built lamps and shades.
I was the 7th child and the 5th son in my family so I grew-up with a lot of big boy talk and interests, including cars. I learned how to bend, shape, solder, weld and paint metal before the age of 10 years old; the same age that I rebuilt a old truck. That was the beginning of a long-life hobby.
Yet I never built lamps or shades until my wife asked me if I could make a shade for one of her stoneware lamps. That was a request that changed my daily focus.
One Shade led to the purchase of a lot of equipment, materials and experimentation.
Designing and creating lamps has become my great adventure. Eventually, I want to incorporate my wood working with the metal. The possibilities are endless, and I want to explore all of them.
