Hello,
The machine is prompting me to introduce myself, so I am!
I\’ve been tinkering for years, my wife having all the art bones, I was left with none. So I focused on processes of all sorts.
Discovered copper work online, and fell in love. Currently adding silver as well.
I love to make things from as close to zero as I can. Yes, it\’s easier to buy preformed sheet, or tools, but I get so much satisfaction from starting from scratch.
I have had trouble my whole life focusing, feeling lost and full of dread. In this current realm, I feel at home for the first time, combining knowledge and practices from metal work to electronics, chemistry,math.
Currently working on a torch, preparing to make my second attempt at mokume gane, finishing up a 20 tonne bottle jack press, and otherwise exploring and practicing techniques.
Ganoksin free has been an incredible resource, so I purchased a membership. From reading, I\’m so impressed with so many sharing knowledge and helping.
Cheers, from Canada.
