About Me

I'm a metalsmith who works with all kinds of metals in all sorts of ways. From welding and blacksmithing to medieval armour and jewelry. I'm also venturing into medieval siege weapons (i.e. trebuches, catapults and balistas).I do medieval reenactment not to be confused with those snobby money grubbing ren faires. I do non profit events in a group called the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism).I don't personally care what anyone thinks of me beyond friends or family. There's a million other places to look or be if you don't like the way I look or my blunt, deadpan way of looking at life and expressing my thoughts and feelings. If you can handle that then you've gotten farther than most on finding out what's inside my mind and who I really am.Here are some examples of my past chain maille work. I do everything from armour and clothing to jewelry and inlaid pictures in banners or pictures on shirts. I can also do some very nice entrance wear for UFC style fighters and wrestlers to stagewear for bands and even movie pieces. Please feel free anytime to message me here and I'll work with you on making a piece.

What Kind of Music Are You? :::pics:::

Metal
You're about as hardcore as they come. Music is your passion and you listen to it for talent not because it's popular. You probably have a lot of respect for all artforms and you like classical piano. Slipknot definitely sucks in your eyes...and for good reason. Any band who takes the time to put on make-up and masks just isn't worth your respect.

My Interests

Don't contact me if you're just looking for another person to add so you'll have more friends on your list. If you want to really talk to me, then talk to me. If you're looking for numbers then watch Sesame Street, go fuck yourself and find a mindless fucking idiot, I've seen tons of them here. Also, I don't do drugs either, so don't send me messages wanting to get with me if you get high. You wanna fuck up your head, go do it on your own fucking time, not mine.

I'd like to meet:

.."http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29tL w==" target="_blank" Anyone cool or interesting. I don't care about age, sex, color or any of that other trivial shit. I just want to meet cool new friends who share common interests or want to know more about me or what I do.

Music:

Most anything except rap and redneck. From classical, jazz and blues to metal, classic rock and medieval melodies. Long live OLD Metallica. They were great till Cliff died and Lars got dollar signs in his eyes and sold them and Cliff's legacy out. So do Cliff a great justice by not associating the shit after his death with the real Metallica, the OLD Metallica!

Movies:

No movie shit here, just cool words to live by... Grab a hold, don't let go don't let them rob ya of the only way ya know The only proof of what you are is in the way you hear the truth. Don't be scared, live to win although they're always gonna tell ya it's a sin-LemmyThe key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.-St Augustine

Heroes:

Dimebag Darrel, Bruce Lee, Lemmy, my mom, the medicine man of our tribe, anyone who selflessly gives of themselves to help anyone else, anyone who has overcome drugs (that shit will lead you nowhere) or any addiction, and those who aren't afraid to be exactly who they are despite harsh criticism and negativity from others (well unless you're just a worthless piece of shit only out for yourself).
