A friend of mine Jason gave me some vintage glass he found under some trees he was cutting down this summer. This guy had stored the contents of a east coast lighting company from the turn of the last century in an open feild 20+ years ago. Most of the steel from the gas lamps, and indoor fixtures had rusted away, but the brass and glass survived. I had to soak these shades in vinegar to get the news print they were wrapped in from the 1930’s off. Great ads! Next time I go up there I’m going to spend more time looking though what he saved.
These were made for my wife Kyrsten’s birthday. It only took me 10 years to finally hang lights in our bathroom.

Fire for your home fireplace
My newest creation are steel logs and hand forged andiron that use natural gas for fuel. The colors of flame thoughout the fire are wonderful. This is my modern take on the ceramic log. I can build this as a match light system, or add a fully automated remote system with safeties. I use ANSI certified fire pans and safety valves. These logs could also be used in one of my outdoor fire pits as well.

The mythological god Pan, a playful and mischievous character, had the torso of a man and the legs of a goat. The graceful and playful lines of these table legs made us think of him immediately. We use hammer and anvil to forge steel into these life like leg shapes, combine them with textured bar, and top them with 3/8” glass. Why not bring a touch of myth and mischief into your life?
