Here is the latest birdhouse sculpture. This is No. 3 of 5 in this series. This piece is big and brawny and can hold its own against the elements. It is made from recycled steel and other unwanted metals. On the back is a door to access the inside - just in case you have to clean out a old nest! Or, if you just want a secret place to hide something. This particular sculpture is part of a silent auction for the Lee's Summit Educational Foundation.

Here's the latest metal project for the house. I've wanted to remake our house address letters (which were removed during our remodel last year) in a different way. So, I spent a morning in the shop coming up with this solution. I really enjoyed making the letterforms. Now, the delivery guy can find the right house!

If you're in the neighborhood, take a look for this new sign hanging outside Fossil Forge. The metal sign measures 16 inches wide by 34 inches high. It is hand-cut from steel. If you know of anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind sign for their business or garden, let me know.

I have been building some new birdhouses lately. These are constructed from steel and will stand up to all kinds of abuse, from the weather to squirrels to birds. These structures have a hinged door on the back to allow access to the interior. The front, sides and roof are adorned with recycled and found objects. These can be hung or attached to a post, fence or tree. Let me know if you want one.

Listen to sound of the breeze as the metal hands of this chime clang together. The cut-steel hands of this wind chime sculpture are made from the outlines of children's hands. Mixed together with some other shapes, this durable metal sculpture provides a rich sensory experience.
