Congratulations to Corey Ackelmeyer for being one of this weeks featured artists on Crafthaus. It is very nice to see members of SMM featured here. We do have a great group of metalsmiths in the midwest. Keep up the good work.

Steve Shelby left a comment for John Lunn

"Hi John. I love your flute. I worked at a job for 23 years making keys and the metal parts for contrabassoons. Unfortunately, there was no creativity involved. The upside is that I learned a huge amount about working with metal and making tools."
