Habitat for Humanity's Salvage Art Auction

We put 3 pieces of work in this art auction on Friday and it was a big success. We were so proud to be able to give to such a worthy cause!! Here are pictures of the flyer, his work, and a certificate he won.

The only piece that he can replicate almost exactly - is the cross because it is the only thing we have ample supplies for. It was made from a trampoline stand and, a brake rotor, and a few railroad spikes.

The cross was about 3' tall and 2' wide.


The eagle was about 4' wide and 2.5 or 3' tall.


The wall art was very similar to his other wall art pieces in that it was 2' in diameter.


HOOKS HOOKS HOOKS

This is definitely VinTin's MOST requested item. I don't know if it is the affordability or usage range, but he cranks out so many of these each week. What I love most about my husband's work is the hammer marks in each piece. If you were to stop and count the marks, and think about the hammer he swings all day when he is blacksmithing, it is very fascinating!!!







Wine Rack

Danny is getting ready to blow the door wide open when it comes to vineyard iron work. Here is his first and only wine rack as of now. Just wait!!!!!!


Custom Orders w/Names

A couple of these have been pictured before, but I wanted to emphasize that Danny does many custom orders and some even include hand forging / blacksmith someone's name or initials into a design or a practical object (such as shelf).
