Twenty-six years ago today, I began my journey to become an industrial metal artist. I drove across Canada alone in just four days to start a new life, carrying nothing but dreams, goals, determination and a welding certificate. I had never worked in a shop environment.

Now, 26 years later, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve built a life doing what I love, creating art from metal and turning ideas into reality.

This anniversary feels especially significant because in just one more year, I’ll have lived in British Columbia for half of my life.

Dreams really can come true when you’re willing to take a chance, work hard, and keep moving forward.

Here’s to the journey, the lessons, and whatever comes next.

🚨 Pender Island folks 🚨

Tough Tiny Welder is heading your way Wednesday May 27th to assess a couple of jobs.

If you’ve been thinking about a custom project — gates, railings, fencing, garden art, or something unique for your space — now’s a good time to reach out.

Send me a message and let’s chat while I’m on island.

Built to Support the Wild Ones 🌿

Just finished this 3D trellis/cage designed to keep these towering cardoons standing tall (and looking sharp while doing it).

This one’s doing the heavy lifting while pretending it’s just part of the garden. Sneaky like that.

Perfect for:
• Cardoons & artichokes
• Peonies & top-heavy perennials
• Climbing plants or veggie supports
• Anyone tired of plants doing the “lean of shame”

Fabricated from rebar, built to last, and customized to your space and plants.

Got something in your garden that needs a little structure (or a lot)? I’ve got you covered.

Custom gate completed for a couple on Pender Island.

This project was designed and coordinated entirely through email and phone — we never met face to face, from concept to installation.

Built with clean lines to preserve the ocean view, while still adding strength, safety, and a finished look to the space.

Grateful for clients who trust the process — even from afar.
