January 19, 20215 yr Hello everyone, I’m Trevor from Southern California. I’ve been forging for about 12 years. I started out with self-teaching basics then took CBA classes at the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum in Vista, CA for about 2 years. Since then I went on to finish a BA in visual art and an MFA in Jewelry and Metal Art. I love pattern welding, and the bulk of my MFA thesis portfolio is sculptural and wearable pattern welded pieces. I forge on my rural property, with a 100lb. Trenton, Chili 2-burner forge, and 50lb Little Giant. I also enjoy fabrication and will employ a Bridgeport mill and Logan lathe into the process of my pieces. I’ll be sharing my work in this thread:

January 20, 20215 yr Author Thanks! I have family in Alpine. I’m a bit north. Supposed to get snow in the next week.
January 21, 20215 yr Excellent. My home is at 2112 feet, whilst in the shadow of Viejas Mountain, whose summit is 4187 feet. Racing against Disability to put my 8 ton OBI, and 5 ton fly press, et al., into service for custom fabrication work.... I am too tough for the vultures to dine upon... Robert Taylor
