I hope to show and keep a record of my progress into the world of decorative features for home and garden.
About Me
- David
- Smalley, Derbyshire
- A bit about myself. Hi, as you may have gathered my name is David and,this is my first blog. I am a fiftymmmmph year old bloke from the Smalley area of Derbyshire. Of late I have been unwell with depression and my therapist suggested that I take up a hobby as one aid to my recovery. Some years ago I did a plumbing course but never got taken on in any firm to continue with the more practical side and hands on experience. So as I know a little about soldering copper pipe and how to use a set of pipe benders why not put them to good use and try my hand at making decorative features.

Names in Wire
I thought I might try my hand at writing with wire. It was a little tricky to start with, trying to get the wire into a shape that looked like a letter, as I wanted it to look like I'd written it myself with a pen, not just letters made up then put into place. Anyway I came up with this, I know it's my name but this method can be used on any ones name.
So Far So Good
Now that I have done three pieces and my soldering is getting better and, some ideas are coming in, I want to try and widen what I am trying to do. I know that I should be moving step by step, but now I have a feel for what I am doing I want to try more and more.
With luck, if people think that my creations are worthy, they may want a piece for thier home or garden. The thing that will be the difficult bit for me will be to put a price on the pieces that I make.
In time I hope to be making bespoke pieces for people who would like something just for them.
