Wow the stuff on this site (pic+info) is amazing. I install rain gutters for a living. A few years ago I decieded to specialize in copper. This web site is really going to help me. After looking at the pictures here I feel like a kintergardener with crayons. You people are amazing!!! and I can't wait to learn and create many new and exciting things. I have posted a few pictures in the architectural gallery any comments would be appreciated. I have many questions that I will research this site for.

Clyde, Welcome to ArtMetal!

Clyde,

Welcome to ArtMetal! I'm sure you're going to be a great contributor here, particularly if you keep those pictures coming. We love pictures! Do you have a web site of your work?

The collector and the scupper are both exceptionally nice. Really makesyou want to crank out custom leaders to go with them, doesn't it? The collector with the diamond motif would look really cool if the leader had a series of subtle diamonds grading down in size as they went away from the collector, I think.

I really like to see custom details like your copper work on architecture. Like Mies van der Rohe said, "God is in the details."

Keep up the great work and keep the pictures coming.

Thank you very much. Exactly the kind of input I need to improve my work. I understand what you mean and agree. This is how my work is evolving and I hope it will continue at a greater rate thanks to this side. My ideas of where I would like to be have been raised significantly in the days since I found "metal art". I will post more pics. Thanks for the encouragement.

Hi Clyde and welcome to artmetal. Your work is very impressive, i really like how you take something that most people try to hide and make it a focal point. Kudos to you. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
