I am 61, retired, and finding that I need to be doing something to keep from becoming completely bored with life. I have two workshops on my property, both stuffed with machines and tools. I am interested in metal art, yard art, LARGE pieces and especially kinetic art and metal sculptures that either move with the wind, or mechanically through gears, levers, and such.

I have two CNC tables, one for plasma and the other for a router. I am NEW at metal forming, because most of what I have done thus far is with flat pieces. Now I want to add some dimension to my art pieces, and who knows ... I might even get someone to buy one of them!

When I was a teenager, I knew everything, of course! Now at age 61, I realize just how much I DO NOT know, and I am hoping to learn new tricks and skills with the passing of time, and certainly before MY passing. 2020 will be an interesting year for me. Lots of ideas. Not a lot of energy.
