Retired Tool #9
A bit larger “Retired Tool” than the rest I have done so far. Looks a lot like a dancer (that has been the reaction from a few folks anyway). Still working on the finish and balance as this size is a bit trickier to keep stable on it’s base.Retired Tool #8
I am still having lots of fun with the “Retired Tools” series. Here is one of the latest. Just got back from Maine with a bundle of tools and found objects. Still working on the finish but pretty much done.Totem 3
Another Totem out of Harrow Discs. I keep thinking that they will start being repetitive but so far the variations in disc sizes and patinas have kept them unique.
Rosey – Hair Style
“Rosey” was back in the shop this weekend for a hair extension. (Owner whacked her with a lawn mower so I welded it back on). She is one of the first faces I ever made…she still looks great and it was good to get a pic of her before she returns to Bluemont..
Doris?
One of my favorite faces so far. I have done many faces but few in the size of this one. The base also adds significant height to the piece. She is still being worked on but pretty much finished. She needs to rust a bit more and some additional welding to tighten her up.
