Wonderful craftsmanship and beautiful artistry. In future would you add an intro or a voiceover of you talking about the piece, explaining why it was commissioned and your thoughts on the design you chose.

Hello Sir, I just wanted to come by and support your page, I rarely find such interesting people with so much creativity as you. My good man, your works are very impressive, and I enjoy watching you put them together. Really cool stuff. Also, not for nothing but you are a very likeable guy as well, which helps heaps. Good people doing good things, I am with it. I ran across your pageo on tik tok, and was very impressed by the original pieces and the amazing craftsmanship you put into your art. I cant always comment on tik tok like I like to, my phone screen is cracked, the s doesnt work. lol. So, either way, love to see like longer videos, even then what you have here, but I do love this one, in all the ways you do it. I have had the blessings to do so many different types of work, almost all of them I feel at times. But sadly, I have never done any black-smithing. But maybe one day, if God allows. Thank you, your inspiring my own creativity, while not similar, definitly inspiring. At the moment I will give no suggestions, other then I want to see more and more, lol. I love it man.
