Today is the day to pick up metal! Yeah.
Iyad met me at American Steel and we hit the road around 9:30.
Our first stop was Aaron Metal Company in Hayward where Bella joined us and we hooked up with our new best friend and owner Jesykah Forkash. She bundled up 500+’ …

After learning to TIG weld, the next step is to teach all comers. Bella and Sharifa love their new skill.
And while we were at it, we unloaded the rest of the Homeless Homes wood and got the truck ready for work.
I also ran into the cool ~$70 Venue Burst Laser BLG …

Evan spent a couple hours teaching how to use his TIG welder. It was great fun! Now to practice 🙂

Looks like we are going to be in Bay 3 for a while and the container is going to sit exactly where it is. The next step forward is to build our second floor ‘Club House’ using the container as the base foundation.

We had a great time at the American Steel Studios Art And Industry open house last night. Once again I was inspired by Amphora and their amazing 10,000+ individually addressable LED lights from Cool Neon. Seeing as how we do not have $20,000+ just for lights (not to mention controllers and power supplies), I purchased …

By far the best part of this journey into art for me is the learning of new skills. When I am completely out of my depth and comfort zone and exploring a new subject, I just get so happy.
The other night we paid a visit to Buck to pick his brain about how to …

We met Sally at 8am to move our container from one side of our space to the other. She used the 10 Ton Crane to lift it while David and I helped her guide it into place. What great fun and now we have a bunch of extra space to build 🙂
