Hi all,
Just wanted to share a recently completed project. this is for a residence hear on the central coast california. about 35 lineal feet, sculpted and cast bronze posts, forged and riveted steel railings with a deep brown finish (c-22 and lots of water). Also the flower arrangements are of steel, copper, and brass. with a rose theme carried threw the project, even the tops of the rivets on the pickets are little tiny roses. pickets are pierced through bottom bar and swaged, tops are drilled and riveted. hidden connections are bolted through posts into a pre-flooring baring plate topped with the bronze rose caps. fun stuff, lots of work, and honored to have the opportunity.

Hello all,
I'm looking for some natural patina recipies, and/or store bought products for application on pewter. I will be casting some pieces in pewter, in the past I have been able to get a black patina but I have no idea of any other 'colors' that may be posible through chemicals. any thoughts or solutions would be much apprieciated.

Hi all,
So here’s my latest toy I built, a helve hammer. Demonstrating is my son Kyzen, got to get the munchkin going early.
