Copper Jewelry I am a 10 year U.S.

Navy Veteran, I served on board the USS Grayling(SSN-646) and the USS Toledo(SSN-762), both Nuclear Powered Submarines in Groton, Ct. Now my family and I make our home in Southern Illinois, crafting is a hobby that has turned into a bit more. We sell a few things, and we give a few things away.

90% of what I make for sale is made to order, and/or made weekly, made as we have time around the property to work in the shop.

Rainy Day project!

I've had a few requests for shepherds Hooks similar to the one I made for Dad. So today I managed to get a few ready for paint when it stops raining.

They will be available at our booth at Ft. De Chartes June 6-7th. Don't miss this great event!
