  • This week I was commissioned to create a workshop sign for one of my oldest friends, Alex. The design came from utilizing imagery from his family's coat of arms. The final piece was created using both old school, and new age techniques. Thank you for watching!

    Duuude! Amazing... Seriously, if I ever take up blacksmithing, this is exactly the kind of work I'd want to do, decorative, artistic, organic. You're about the only person who does blacksmithing that I want to watch.

    You did such a great job Bret, the scroll work, the brass rivets. I did for some reason expect the knights head to start talking for some reason and I'm not entirely sure why. Must have something to do with 80's cartoons. Cheers
