You are doing beautiful work. I see a lot of things going on in there. A Scandinavian backbone with influences from all over the world.

The materials you are describing make me drool. I'd love to get my hands on some 16th century wrought iron. The oldest metal I can scavenge here is from the 1850s and that's hard to come by.

I'd love to see more of what you are doing. You are a few steps ahead of me in some aspects of your making, but our philosophies seem to be similar.
