Nice! Man, been tempted to go into that trade although with the hurdles were likely facing soon I'd like a more stable industry. Have a interview at a local car dealership (flagship brand) coming up wed. And even though that will pay well. I'd still rather be in a even more stable job (like Tesla tech.) Gotta thinknlong term.
Been making jewelry since I was 12. That and farming is all I know. But like so many farm boys I left the farm.Nice!

But that IS sweet I am kinda jealous.. Good work.
Not to derail the thread but I will just say I'm a former medical instrument tech which is loosely related. Fine detail type job. We work a lot with little jewelers torches and silver soldering hammering forming polishing etc.Been making jewelry since I was 12. That and farming is all I know.

In the two middle pics, is that ironwood? Lignum vitae, or some such?I make little pieces of wood out of big pieces of wood.
I could only upload 5 pictures, but there's lots more.

Actually, it was a little bowl I made using epoxy and Ponderosa Pine branch burls. Pretty much the same, sap-filled ones out in your back yard. I like them because they are plentiful (free really) and if you prep them correctly, they can make some really pretty pieces.In the two middle pics, is that ironwood? Lignum vitae, or some such?
Nice talent! Beautiful work!I make little pieces of wood out of big pieces of wood.

Thank you! I just make them for family and friends. They make for good inexpensive gifts as I only use free wood from around my community. Today I got a 200lb Elm log. That, along with about 20 Paper Birch logs and a nice, big chunk of Plum will keep me busy for a while.Nice talent! Beautiful work!
Hey (huff!) that stuff is pretty (huff! huff!) damned good (huff! huff! huff!), if I do say so myself (huff! huff! huff! huff!)...Yeah, all Sobo likes to do is sniff glue. He likes it so much, he has to make his own now, just to keep up with his habit....
