About Me

I started fabricating things out of metal when I was very young. My dad raced stock cars and swamp buggies and I got my start welding at age 13 while learning about motors and racing. By 13 I was also racing stock cars. Over the years I built and raced stock cars, swamp buggies and mud boggers. I have made many things for myself and others such as utility trailers, bridges, and sculptures. I worked as a welder for only 1 year of my career making car hauler trailers. For most of my career I was a plasterer in Florida. After moving to upstate NY I worked in a variety of jobs in the construction field. I have only started exploring the artistic side of metal fabrication during the past five years. We started the metal business in 2006 to take my career in a different direction. It will take a while, but my plan is to fill this blog with pictures of many of the things I have built over the years. I hope you enjoy seeing some of my unique creations. My wife is actually writing this blog for me but she is presenting it from my standpoint with the information I give her. I am more skilled with a welder than a computer.

Handmade Propane Tank Wood Stove








I made this small wood stove from a 20lb propane tank. I added a cross brace on the top to place a pan for cooking.  I added a place to regulate the air under the fire area.

Handmade Knives and More

I used saw blades to make the blades for these knives, fork and spear.  These were Christmas gifts for my son, wife and myself.  I used hard wood from a discarded wooden tray table for the handles.

Barbed Wire Star

We have a lot of old barbed wire around our property on the old fences.  Most of the fence posts are falling down and the wire is available for us to use in a variety of ways.  My wife suggested we start to get creative with it.  This is the fist thing we tried.
