Reply:Wow! I've been drooling over your work since you first came here. I wish I had 1/4 the vision you have. "Every choice you make will effect at least one other person"
Reply:my favorite part of your works is looking at them to see if i can figure out what the pieces are and what they are from.  i notice something new everytime.your creativity is amazing.  very nice work.
Reply:Impressive as always! I have to agree with woodironman, but I'd settle for far less than even a 1/4. I've folowed up your postings somewhat and realize that you are getting some well deserved acclaim as an artist, is this now a full time occupation or a sideline?Lincoln PrecisionTig 275Miller 251Miller DialArc 250Bridgeport millHossfeld bender & diesLogan shaperJet 14 X 40 latheSouth Bend 9" 'C'Hypertherm 900Ellis 3000 band saw21"Royersford ExcelsiorTwo shops, still too many tools.

Reply:Ironheart_ram, I'm glad to hear that you've gone into a full time pursuit of your art. You'e certainly deserving enough! I'm always constantly amazed with the diversity of the scrap you use for modeling your artwork. You must frequent quite an eclectic scrapyard.

Reply:Every piece is amazing. Beautiful daughter, is she ready to help ????  How  , what, and when do you clean the pieces ??  Do you clean them before assembling or after ??   What do you use to clean them ???  What type of finish ???  Do you have all this material onsite  or do you go hunting for it ???  Boy, I got trouble grabbing two pieces of angle let alone hundreds of pieces that you bring to life.   Really looking forward to the 12' creation. Please post in progress photos if possible without giving HIGHLY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION .  Thanks
