The techniques used in ORNAMENTAL METAL PROJECTS can be varied to suit the craftsman's skill and equipment. Using cold bending techniques, which will be covered, a shop with only an electric welder and an acetylene torch can produce beautiful pieces. On the other end of the spectrum a fully equipped blacksmith can add the lavish details that only he can produce. I have been in the metal working industry for sixteen years and it has developed into a rewarding hobby. I am also a Journeyman Toolmaker and have had extensive experience with dies, fixtures, and tools. All which I have applied to this craft. So I hope you'll join us and share some of your expertise too!
THANK YOU!
