David Browne Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hello, my name is David Browne. I'm an Architectural and Sculptural Blacksmith working in San Diego, Ca. Like many of you, I am a self-proclaimed tool junkie, but mostly, I just really like to make things. I look forward to sharing and learning from the group. Best regards, -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hello David, and Welcome to IFI. Yeah, we're pretty much all tool junkies. But it's a fun addiction. Looking forward to seeing more of your work and hearing from you. BTW, is that a fireplace screen in the photo above? Really nice work.

David Einhorn Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Very very nice. Thank you for sharing. Are those decorative elements rivets or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon Sculpture Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nice work Dave, what alloy bronze you using? Nice hammer, I found a couple of those in N.Y. city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Browne Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nice work Dave, what alloy bronze you using? Nice hammer, I found a couple of those in N.Y. city. Thanks Michael. The Bradley has been a great hammer for me. Although I must admit, seeing these big hammers that you and several others are using has ignited my tool envy. My bank account could be in serious trouble... The fire screen is silicon bronze (655 series). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Are you still in the Mission Gorge area? I don't wanna bug you guys when I know you're busy and all, but when is a good time to visit your shop? I've been wanting to come check out all your toys. I live up the hill in Murphy Canyon, not a whole lot of forging and banging goin on around here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 David, Welcome you mentioned about learning from us but I think its the other way around. You do beutiful work really like the fire screen. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the more I learn, the more this craft humbles a person. I learn from everybody. I am astounded by the amount of talent and knowledge assembled in this forum. It seems there is no problem that can't be solved. My ultimate goal is to come across a problem so complex, yet so subtle that it will even stump the "old Curmudgeon" up north (Grant). -DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
