Hi all, I finally finished a chandelier I have been working on for a long time. It's 48" in Diameter and about 40" tall and is fabricated out of Aluminum tubing and sheet with the leaves created using Fold Forming and a custom made chain. Every single piece was custom made. It has dimming incandescent lights and blue LED lights on two different switches so you can vary the look. It was a huge learning experience figuring out how to create a light that looked great, could function as it was supposed to, and could be maintained/repaired without using a plasma torch, in fact, many pieces were made at least two times as i foresaw hurdles in replacing lights, wiring, etc. I can't wait to do another one, especially since I've muscled out most of the pitfalls.

Hi all, seems forever since i posted work. Here are two of my latest projects. The first are some awards made for the Lincoln Arts Council. Unfortunately you can't see the blues and purples from the heat coloring due to my poor photography skills. The second project is a pair of giant planters. They are made from steel and are 54" inches tall.
