Hello,

I am just joining this community and look forward to interacting and networking with you all. Hopefully, some of you will know me and I look forward to reacquainting with you and to meeting new metalworkers. I am an 18 generation blacksmith and have been forging for over 17 years, taught internationally and have been published in numerous books and periodicals.

Custom interior gate hand-forged for my home. It blocks off the first floor and opens down to the basement. The peacocks were hand-forged also and very detailed. I do not have a close-up detailed photo of this gate.

I'm New Here

Karin Valerius - Thursday, August 28, 2008 - 6:14pm

Just a note to say "Hi" to everyone. I am new here, but not new to the world of Artist Blacksmithing/Metalsmithing. I will be posting photos of my architectural ironwork as soon as I can better figure out how to download the photos. I am guessing my images may be too large for the file.
