I started a career in residential remodeling almost 20 years ago. One of my favorite things to do at the end of every project is to make pieces of art with the leftover materials. I usually utilize copper wire, nuts, bolts, copper tubing etc. in my creations and will gift them to family members and friends for Christmas.
I've been working on a multi-part blog dealing with some intense matters and touchy subjects the past few days. I decided to take a break and post a short blog to stay active on the site and maybe reach a wider audience. Anyway, here's a few pictures of my handy work. Feel free to copy my ideas and make some cool gifts for your loved ones or just have some cool stuff to show off in your own home. ENJOY!!
