This was a site specific design and quite a challenge for me because I had to match the chandelier,to what I considered to be an exceedingly boring interior...
Hollow forged steel tubing.

I subbed out the wiring since I'm not an electrician.
But I fabricated it with stainless steel pull through wire inside so the threading was easier...
Lots of engineering in a piece like this. Hollow forging is a tricky business...

not really, I'm not an artist myself so I'd love to collaborate with someone, so its a somewhat selfish reason isnt it

Well,There's a symbiosis possible there I think.

Excellent, electrical work is simple enough as far as fixtures are concerned, its something easily learned by doing, its the codes that usually give you trouble, and I'd love to learn welding :)

Codes are a drag,but a necessity.
I find the code for railings (no gap greater than 4 inches) debilitating,and always a challenge to still infuse Beauty. But that's what i get paid for,so I try not to whine too much.
Welding is a very cool skill to have no doubt.
It's usually offered at local community colleges if you have the time.
I know you're on the East coast but I don't know where...I'm from Maine originally.

i love how your pieces always seem to have a classic, rustic feel to them, yet are always new and fresh and unique! so cool! :)

What a wonderful compliment.
Thank you so much.
Those are indeed the aspects I try to project,some are conscious,others are simply innate within my personal design aesthetic. I haven't delved too deeply in any attempt to dissect the various components,but others have. That term "rustic" has been used in regards to my work many times.
