Notes from the Tinsmith

I have been working on tinware for 14 years and I enjoy creating Early American and Colonial Lighting as well as modern electrical adaptations, and other forms of tinware. I have done restoration work on several pieces that are now in museums and have two tools I have reproduced also in museums.

I was listed in "Early American Life" magazine as 1 of 200 crafters in 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2002, and I was featured in "By Hand" by Janice Eaton Kilby, published by Lark Books, a division of Sterling Publishing Co. Inc. I was also listed in "Colonial Reproductions and Designs " magazine Fall 2005, publised by Stackpole Printing Co. and have had several human interest articles of my work in newspapers.

I hope you will enjoy your visit to our site where you can view samples of my work. I also do custom tinwork so if you have something special in mind feel free to contact me by e-mail or phone and we can discuss your needs.

I will be adding additional items to this site in the future as we get them photographed so please stop by periodically to see what is new.

Please note that all shipping and packing are actual cost.
