Hello Chris thank you for your compliments. I looked at several of your peices as well I realy liked the biker chain boul. I would have never thought of wraping chain like that to form a bowl and I have worked with chain like that before but never to form a sculpture. Very inventive on your part and also nice finish on the peice overall.

Hello Nelson thankyou for the compliments. Ime not sure what you mean by custom lacing though all the peices are custom machined for whatever sculpture Ime working on. The Steel-Izzard did require quite a bit of bending/rolling of sheet metal to form the body and tail the larger body segments were tubing cut off machined on the ends and then drilled to accept the screws to hold it to the other segments. As far as being burnt the legs are very burnt from the heavy welding I did to hold them together. There are some better shots on my website. Ime glad to hear you see the industrial look in my work because thats what Ime aiming for I come from a very industrial city Cleveland Ohio were a very industrial city indeed.
