Started welding and shaping metal on a rooftop in Manhattan in '88. '95 moved to an Island on the west coast on the border of Canada where I started acquiring sheet metal tools and selling kinetic copper and stainless steel wind sculptures in a field behind my shop. Now, 24 years later and several surgeries later still at it 7 days a week with hundreds of visitors in the summer. Aside from a son my other children include 2 pullmaxes, an english wheel, erco SS, yoder PH, pnuematic sheer, rolls, tube bender, 50 ton press, rotary punch, 6 welders, lathe, mill, forklift, 5k sq.ft.space, and a tractor.

Here's the last one I finished a few weeks ago. I used to do a lot more shaping to the metal and you can see that on my website at http://www.howeart.net under "Past Work". I also have spent quite a bit of time trying to make a successful hand pan, a hand played version of a steel drum. It is unquestionably the hardest thing I have ever tried to make. Many thanks for including me in your forum.
