And stomping on my touch mark.... I must like this piece #oneforposterity

Finishing up a hex plate for the Daedelus sculpture base. #itwontfallover #meandmyredhead

Daedelus in contemplation of his fallen son... and all that remains of Icarus. #sad #itoldyounotto #stories

'After the Fall' sculpture in progress. Daedelus and Icarus. 18" tall, forged iron and bronze. This will be donated to the Visions Gala Benefit Auction here in Victoria BC. I built a large version of this at a workshop at Plumpton College in the UK a year or so back, always wanted to make it as a smaller piece. #reimagined #tales #mythology #benefit #auction #sculpture

Back during my first collaborative sculpture session in Vista CA. I was lucky enough to have the great Toby Hickman (amount others) off the bleachers and helping out. Here we are setting a fire weld with an oxy acetylene torch. First time I tried it! Anyway. Just booked in for the octoberfest this year, and leading a workshop at Mountain Forge the following weekend... If anyone wants a wandering Blacksmith in the shop in the intervening week I'll be around. Looking forward to catching up with the cba folks. #roadtrip #travellinghammer #blacksmithatlarge #avinitlarge #boselecta
