I like horseback riding, hiking with my kids, SO, and dogs, woodburning, writing, hunting, fishing, cooking, doing homesteading stuff, going on vacations & taking pictures of all the above

I,m a blacksmith, love to make functional and useful items as well as funky yard art, I'll try to attach a photo here of a swing arm candle holder I made a couple years ago..

Nice work! Did you study somewhere?

I attended Siena Heights University for my BFA, and Cranbrook Art Academy for my masters, but couldn't afford to finish.

Metalsmithing is one of the finest arts IMHO!

Here's one of mine, (I also like to work in silver).

Nice work, both of you!!

Metalsmithing is becoming a dying art. I would love to be able to do it.

I'm kind of partial to bas relief carving

Thanks for the kind comments, I was able to attend the Campbell folk school, the Touchstone school of craft and the Appalachian school for the arts, along with being mentored by some fine smiths. And I'm just now beginning to figure out which end of the hammer to swing!!
