Up for auction! A fantastic set of brass shaping tools made and donated by our very own Ornametalsmith! (http://www.talkglass.com/forum/member.php?7067-ornametalsmith) You should check out Bill's website at www.CustomDesignMetalArts.com! Also Bill can be found on facebook. (https://www.facebook.com/CustomDesignMetalArts)
My name is Bill Roberts, I live and work in Central Florida. I own/operate Custom Design Metal Arts in Ocala. I've been doing decorative metalwork for over 25 years. Starting this metalsmithing journey in 1984 as a jeweler and caster. Producing one of a kind pieces using the lost wax casting process.
With a jewelers eye for detail, and finding myself drawn to other metals, in 1989. I began my apprenticeship, with an internationally renown ornamental metalsmithing firm that specialized in architectural metalwork, of the highest quality. I was introduced to larger scale ornamental metalwork.
Then the seed was planted that motivated me to learn the forge and fabrication approach to metalwork.
That experience has allowed me to broaden my artistic horizons to include not only fine jewelry in gold and sterling but also what I like to refer to as ""house jewelry"". That being Entry gates, railings, doors, lighting, furniture, sculpture and much more of mixed metals. Including aluminum, steels (stainless -mild & damascus), brass, bronze and copper. Of late, the majority of my work has fallen in the architectural ornamental metal category. I specialize in hand forged or custom cast, one of a kind and limited edition designs.
in 2001...I got the chance to BLOW some glass for the first time...it HAD ME AT HELLO......I've been a glass addict ever since. And am now adding glass elements to my metal ART.
