Happy birthday, Mom ❤️

She would be 58 today. She has been gone for almost a year and a half and I still reach for my phone to text or call her.

There are so many things I wish I could have told her, like being trans. But most of all, I just wish I could hug her and hear her voice and never let go

Here's another copper and aluminum #rose I made a while back! This one came out beautifully with the red paint, but I decided to polish the lower leaflets for a little bit more contrast against the red and white.

Hey bluesky fam!

A late post today of the third sign I made for the #floridastateparks Ocala #Mountain #Bike Association!

These things were piling up and I'm glad to see them on their way to paint.

Here's a #lily I made from copper, aluminum, and steel.

Using a technique called Fold Forming, I was able to texture, fold, and curve the petals.

The center tendrils are forged and threads cut to create a screw that holds it all together 🔩

YOU'RE BEING MUGGED

Good morning bluesky!

Here's a #rose a made with copper and aluminum🌹

I learned how to make these during my time as a #blacksmith, when I first got into the metal working industry. They're a LOT of work, but they make for amazing #gifts

Sign 3 of 5 for the #mountain #bike trailheads!

I made a few more signs recently! They're for some #Floridastateparks mountain bike trails that are maintained by the Ocala Mountain Bike Association.

Here's the Vortex Trailhead! It has been sent off for paint and installation. I'm hoping to see it in place soon!

In order to force the trans agenda down other people's throats, first I must consume the trans agenda myself. #transagenda #trans #pride

It seems there's not much here on bluesky for #welding and #metalwork and I'm hoping I can change that.

This is a modular fire pit that I made in memory of my mom. She loved dragonflies and sitting by the fire. I wish she was here to see it 🖤

Time to make the guillotine...

Trying my hand at a custom shelf for a grocery store. The design is good.. let's find out if it fits 😬

I made a sign for a mountain bike trailhead and I think it turned out pretty good! Only four more to go!

"In this life there is such a narrow valley of things that are my own choosing and it makes me furious.

It means the things I can choose are the most important things.

So I choose this.

In an act of rebellion against an existence that chooses so much for me against my will"
