. I have been hibernating or being a bit of a hermit for a good part of the past year or so. I have also been avoiding my metal shop as I have found that since I caught myself on fire welding is not as much fun as it once was. I am getting close to wanting to get back in the shop and I want to do a few more projects like some of my early works.

Below are three photos of work I made for a Steam Con Show in 2010 in case you did not guess the theme was the wild wild west. These works are some of my favorites and yes the clock works.

True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.”

About William Penn
William Penn is remembered as the founder of Pennsylvania; the democratic government he set up became the model for the United States Constitution. He was born on October 14, 1644 in England. After he was arrested several times for preaching Quaker ideals, he decided to found a settlement in America. He drew up the “Great Treaty” with the Delaware Indians to ensure they were paid fairly for their land and toured Europe marketing the new colony. He died on July 30, 1718.
