“WHATEVER YOU CAN DO, OR DREAM YOU CAN, BEGIN IT.  BOLDNESS HAS GENIUS, POWER AND MAGIC IN IT”. - GOETHE

BEING A CHILD OF THE 60'S, AND HAVING A SIMILARLY MINDED PARTNER, KÄREN, I VENTURED INTO THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF PEACE SIGNS, PEACE NAIL HUMAN SCULPTURE, WALL ART AND LEATHER PEACE BRACELETS.

PEACEFULMETALWORKS IS MY CREATIVE OUTLET AND EMOTIONAL RETREAT. THIS EXCITING ENDEAVOR HAS BECOME TRULY A PASSAGE AND TRANSITION INTO THE NEXT STAGE OF MY AND KÄREN'S LIVES.

I HAVE AN INVENTIVE MIND AND CAPABLE HANDS. THE WELDING AND PLASMA CUTTING PROCESSES ARE SELF TAUGHT. THE SCULPTURES AND PIECES ARE MY DESIGNS AND ALL HAND MADE WITH MILD STEEL, STAINLESS STEAL AND NATURAL LEATHER.

DURING THIS CREATIVE PASSAGE, WHAT I COULD ONLY DESSCRIBE AS “A TACTILE FELLOWSHIP AND ALLIANCE” HAS BEEN FORMED WITH MY LINCOLN WIRE FEED WELDING MACHINE, PLASMA CUTTER AND SHOP FULL OF VICES, COMPRESSORS, CLAMPS AND MAGNETS AND OTHER TOOLS. UNDER THE SHEPHERDING GUIDANCE OF AN 8,000 DEGREE WELDING ARC AND 15,000 DEGREE PLASMA STREAM, I HAVE DISCOVERED A DANGEROUSLY SAFE HARBOR AND PERSONAL SANCTUARY. IN THIS PLACE, THE DAILY CHALLENGES IN MY LIFE ARE ECLIPSED BY A FLOW OF MY OWN CREATIVE ENERGY. IN THIS PLACE, I EXPERIENCE THE SERENITY OF THE MOMENT WHERE ONLY I, THE ARC AND THE STEEL EXIST.
