This year I am going to try to keep a log of the new pieces i make. In this log I’ll include as detailed instructions as i can on how i make each item. If i can figure out how to do it, i will provide access to patterns and a cut list.
A few of the pieces that are already ordered are; a fire place screen, pot rack, range hood, tea pot, coffee pot, some outdoor and some indoor lighting, and a kitchen back-splash. These are the things we have orders for at this time. Hopefully the list will grow as the winter progresses.
Last year Marsha and i spent the winter building what they say is the worlds biggest copper rooster functioning weather-vane. the rooster measures from comb to toe a little over 7 feet, making the entire weather vane with directionals and copper roof cap around 12 feet. the rooster was hammered out using the free-form repousse process. I like to hammer on oak stumps of varying shapes. the vanes and feathers were done with a rotary machine. We also use a copper alloy to solder with. (90% Cu 5% silver and 5% phos) Known as SilPhos 5.
Let know if any one has any questions.
Thanks,
