Most steel produced today comes from recycled steel, not mining iron ore from the earth. Most of our scrap steel gets ground up and sent to China and India and then we buy it back as "cheap" imports! Sometimes I can catch it before this process begins and then I can create something out of it. This is a "skeleton" and what was valuable to the original user is what is missing: in this case knife blades! the remains are used for a privacy screen in my garden, and you KNOW why I need my privacy!

I have seen a lot of so-called "metal sculptors" at art fairs, but your work is the most impressive I have ever laid eyes on. This photo sure proves it!ruth sears 02 Aug 2009

AMAZING, JERRY. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT A BLADE HERE AND THERE FOR MORE PRIVACY. :) THIS IS A VERY AWESOME DESIGN AND SCREEN.Anneke Hut 02 Aug 2009
Thanks for the second photo, we can see the beautiful colour much better on it. Jerry, what I would love to see is a video about how you make such a beauty, I have no idea how it goes and I'm curious. Do you forge this like the real blacksmith that I remember when I was a child? With fire and all? And how do you cut out these wonderful shapes?Stefani Wehner 02 Aug 2009
incredible work you did, Jerry!
