Calling from Hood River, Oregon

[Michael Ruff]

Hey All!,


I am really excited to have found this forum. I stumbled on it when I was researching some techniques.



I am new to metal shaping and I have been practicing art only for a year and a half now with some success. Until now I have been an industrial artist but I particularly enjoy engineering movement into my pieces.


Maybe some of you can identify with this but a year and a half ago when I built my first piece I found it to be so rewarding it was like finally being able to scratch an itch that I had never been able to get to before.
