| Artificer: [ART-IF-ISS-URR] : Noun: A craftsman who makes things |
What I do...I make things - it is my hobby, and occasionally my job. I try not to say, "I can't make that"; rather, "How do I make that?" That comes from my Dad - inspirational teacher, gentleman, gentle man, and a "cunning artificer" if ever there was one. Everything here is supposed to be useful - nothing is (or should be) decoration for the sake of it. If it doesn't do what it was designed for, I've done it wrong! I also make things for other people - if you like what you see and want something made, get in touch. |

What is new?10th June 2009Following a few computer problems, I now have a new one! System is now rebuilt and working with most stuff recovered. The O1/ebony necker is now sold, and I have a bar of cable damascus on it's way from Denmark shortly - really looking forward to that. I also have some desert ironwood scales coming to go with the damascus, so it has the potential to be quite special. I'm getting nervous about starting on it! 23rd May 2009 All the current batch of mosaic pins are either used, sold or are allocated to a project. Thanks to all those who bought some. The O1/bog oak whittler is staying - I spent some time carving with it a a recent scout camp, and it works really well. I have also bought a crook knife for spoon carving, so my first big spoon should appear on the woodworking page soon. The O1 and ebony necker now has a suitable sheath, on the Leatherwork page, and my second necker is now up on the Knifemaking page. 8th April 2009 Link/banner added to Heritage Crafts Association. Well worth a look! 31st March Photos up of a completed project by AndyJ from the British Blades forum. I supplied the blade, pins, uncut scales and liners, and Andy put it all together and took the pictures. 27th March 2009 Some layout problems (hopefully) fixed, getting to grips with Cascading Style Sheets (thanks, Carol). Hoping to get some workshop time in this weekend... 21st March 2009 - the vernal equinox: New version of the site is now live. If you find any glaring errors, please let me know! |
