Ok, here is another project that I have been meaning to add to the page for quite some time. I am currently working on 4 more- all different, and some that are much more complex. It was based off of one of my sketches, but I will have to go digging for it.

Latest work 69 inches high by 42 wide. The base is fabricated from plate weathering steel. The sculpture is cast and fabricated silicon bronze. It is a design concept for a fountain. The sculpture is part of an on going series which explores natural earth processes such as erosion and tectonics. Some of the series is 2d, though most of the series is sculpture in bronze, steel, wood and plaster.

I leave the Arizona heat for the cooler climate of the San Bernadino Mountains to teach a weeklong workshop at the Idyllwild Art Academy. An exhibit of the work of the istructors will be held at the Parks Exhibition Center and I will be presenting 6 brooches for the show. I am in a panic mode preparing for the class and know it will be a wonderful experience for all who participate.

I'm looking at making a small sterling bottle and I want to put a screw cap on it like flask. Unfortunately, I have NO IDEA how to even begin to make the threads on the bottle, no less the cap.

Basically, I'm making an oil bottle and need to be able to screw the lid down to engage the gasket. I've run over a couple of ideas in my mind about how I might go about this, but none of them seem a good way to go.

This is a concept of a less than $10.00 cone bender that could concievably bump-bend a cone. A couple of simple sticks of flat bar with another one bolted loosely between. Depending on the space between at each end, you could make a fine cone with light sheet metal with this.
