Firstly it calls to me, drawing me to it with a magnetic pull that is impossible to resist. I might be walking or driving when suddenly I know for certain that discarded and abandoned metal is nearby, waiting for me to find it. And I always do.

Art Metal Demonstration

On June 13, I have invited the blacksmith clubs from Texas and Oklahoma to be a part of an all day demonstration. I will be showing how I make the various textures that are used in my art work. I will also be demonstrating the use of power hammers and dies. This is really an open invitation to anyone interested in learning some of the techniques to be a part of this event. If you are interested, please contact me and I can provide directions. My shop is in Alvord Texas, 50 miles north of Ft. Worth, 30 miles west of Denton.

New Blacksmith book is now available.

I have just received an email stating the Mathew Clarke's new book is now available. You can find it at http://www.schifferbooks.com/newschiffer/book_template.php?isbn=9780764332470

My understanding is that in this book, Mathew has featured work from many blacksmiths inculding Tim Cisneros, and some of my work.

The tree is secured into a round maroon colored glazed container in a sand and pebble mound directly in the center of several large textured stones. The sand is painted using India ink to look like moss. The overall sculpture has the feel of a mighty oak tree in all its colorful glory. When displayed in direct sunlight or very bright lights, the sculpture seems to glow a bright yellow.
