I like to experiment and create, and as an artist, might even try my hand at kinetic metal sculpture. I hope to learn and share what I learn here on this forum to enjoy the creative side of craftsmanship.

There is a fair amount of nice art metal to be found here, and kinetic wind sculptures are an inspiring art form!
