Sculpture Gallery | brass | copper | metal | metal art | stainless steel I was approached by my attorney to create a sculpture which would emulate the spirit of his mentor, somewhat of a local celebrity and humanitarian, who had recently passed away. The concept was to blend several aspects of the man's personality into one cohesive design. The parking meter was the initial anectdotal foundation and focal point of the design, around which everything else came together. The well-known gentleman had a particular spot he parked in directly outside the city courthouse each day in a very distinctive red Lincoln; however, he NEVER plugged the meter for the spot. Instead, he arranged to have a running tab, which he paid each and every month, at the local police station - thus the concept in his abscence - "Plug the Meter for Peek" - "Times Expires, but Memories Inspire". » read more | 2 comments Aging brass before clear coat?

brass | finishing Hi all, I got the last of my parts in for the brass panels and am putting the final polish on certain areas that needed it. I noticed that the areas I had polished a few weeks ago were a slightly darker and richer color than the freshly polished area. I don't mind the richer color, I was just wondering if I should let the piece sit for a week or two, so the touched up areas will be the same color/shade as the non-touched up areas? I'd rather not have to go over the whole thing again. Dark Brown Oak - Wire Tree Sculpture

Brass Panel Fitup

altar | brass | church | cross Hi all, I fit up the brass panels the other day and thought I'd post some picts. I've still got a little more to fabricate, but a window opened up where I could go up to the the altar so I went and installed the hinges. The chapel is run by cloistered nuns, which never leave, and there are only certain times that regular people can go up to the altar. The nuns are very sweet, but it's pretty intense to be around people so dedicated. I'll be sure to post picts when they are finished. On a side note, is there a pickle to remove the discoloration around the welds without turning the area to copper? The pickle we've been using seems to turn certain areas around the weld, but not the weld itself, a copper color. Some of the spaces are kind of difficult to get the buffing wheel in.
