Playing with a little table top sculptural stuff today. #blacksmith #art #sculpture #forging

New forge inbound from majestic forge finally time for an upgrade to make bigger stuff. Going to need a bigger propane tank. #blacksmith #metalwork #artist #maker

Got to do the first hike after some Ice melt yesterday. And a couple hours in my forge while it was warm. Still a lot of ice in the valley areas though

A little throwback today. I first got into Metalwork from going to ren faires and doing chain maille. I still do some small work in it for earrings. But here is the nerdiest thing i've made in my time there. I still make a couple pairs a year for sale at NYRF. #renfairet #nerdcraft #headband #catear

A couple small keyracks, Live edge Ash for the larger and a small piece of reclaimed teak from broken furniture. Hooks are forged and twisted Horseshoe nails #Blacksmith #handmade #forged #metalwork #Craft

Ok folks. I'm down with a bit of an chest illness. So I am doing computer work today. And with all the bull going on in my part of the world. I am looking for recommendations of Privacy oriented Search engines and similar. Looking at Protonmail for a change off of alphabet stuff.

So here is a bit of an update or backdate of my metalwork. Just some past projects to try and keep actually updating my page here

we are on the cusp of the loss of a network that created jobs for so many, waiting for the blackout caused not for national security but for the pockets of those who have too much already. And those who caused it now panic to appear as if they tried to save it. We cannot forgive or forget.

Definitely spent more time than needed in the forge for my holiday sale this year. But also spent a lot at the bench as well. #handmade #jewelry #metalwork #silver

This Sunday I'll be at the holiday artisans market put on by the cooperage project in Honesdale Pennsylvania. Just a small event but for those in the area please feel free to stop by. #smallbusiness #craftshow #Pennsylvania #NEPA

I've been figuring out some floral inspired candlesticks and forms. So far the second is the best. Though it's a tight fit to make in my forge.

Finished up a moss agate pendant this morning. Here is a sneak peak. Need t to get better lighting and some time this week. #jewelry #pendant #necklace #handnade #silver #mossagate

Newest tool for my jewelry work. A massive antique rolling mill. Seems to be a custom job. Around 300 lbs. The white stick in the photos is a 12 inch engineers scale. #jewelrymaker #tools #newtools #rollingmill

Been a little bit since I posted so here we go. Been working mostly on production forge work for a holiday sale in honesdale PA in December. But got some jewelry going last night. Works in progress photos. Oh and of course a lovely image from this morning and our first snow this year.

A little forge time today. Getting ready for holiday sales in December. And made up a pair of tongs to make my work a bit easier. A frustrating day is always made better by hitting things with hammers.

Ringtober 24 day 19. Back to working with twists. But squared up this time. #jewelry #rings #handmade #ringtober24

So for more speedy updates if anyone is on Instagram I can be found there as well. www.instagram.com/p/DBSRCPWvnD...

Once again I've been working on my #ringtober projects and forgetting about most social media. So here are a few of the projects I've come up with this year so far. #silver #rings #jewelry #handmade

I am starting this years Ringtober with a focus on blacksmithing techniques Day 1 is Punching and Drifting buckling and stretching the metal with forced holes to give it a very organic form. #Jewelry #ringtober24 #silver #ring #rings #smithing #smithingskills

I know it's been a while but I'm still here. Super busy right now with faire season here but I'm still making. Though the app now will not let me post images even thought it has permission. Will figure that out later though

Expanding my work into sculpture as well as found objects. Slowly. First piece is a steel copper and river stone cattail or bullrush. Approximately 30 inches tall #blacksmith #metalwork #sculpture #nature #handmade

Well I finally was able to get a simple tool I've been looking for for a long time for a decent price. And I got it all cleaned up. So now I just need to build a stand and get the right material to get to using it. A silversmith raising stake I can't wait. #silversmith #silversmithing #metalwork

We have finally gotten a bit of winter out here in the Poconos. Of course it's already melting away, but I got some time to get out and enjoy it. #photography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography

So I had a spot at a Holiday Artisans Market out here in PA this past weekend. Was a good time, here are some of the Christmas decorations I brought with me. Though some could be more generic winter decor. Any suggestions from those of other faiths are more than welcome. #blacksmith #handmade

I just want to say thank you to the folks who have followed and re..posted? My stuff so far. So here is a bit of my belt buckle work from the past.

So trying this again. Tried earlier and my photos wouldn't load. But here are some of my forge work.

Hello, welcome to my part of this new area on the web. I am an Craftsman with slight inclinations towards artist. Primarily working in an assortment of metals, with bits of stone, wood, and leather thrown in. And the occasional burst of nature photography #jewelry #metalwork #artist
