Zack's Return Sculpture

Hello, Thanks for taking a look at some of my work...! I have been working with Metals since I was 12 - First in My Grand Pa's Work Shop, Then My Uncle Teds Garage, Then My Mom And Pops Garage. I started a Tool Maker Apprenticeship after High School And Started Building my First Race Car when I was 17. As I completed my Time as an Apprentice, I worked hard on my Fabricating and welding skills in My Mom & Pops One Car Garage in Des Plaines Illinois. My first Race Car toured out pretty nice and soon I was doing work for others. I finished my Apprenticeship as a Journeyman Tool and Mold Builder and Quit to build Race Cars, Hot Rods and Motorcycles full time. First with a Shop in Elk Grove, Then a 5000 foot studio in Gilberts. I honed my skills in Metal Working but also took on many Mechanical Repair projects in many forms. From Industrial equipment to air craft, I was exposed to a fantastic array of designs - and my skills as a Problem solver grew. When I ran into problems with detail and precision project communications, I took on the skills of 3D design and the incredible computer software that became available and took advantage of this technology. I worked with many skilled people on hundreds of projects in dozens of states. I built up one of the most full service - Personal Detail - Design and Fabrication Studios in the mid west. This was a very Accurate - Very Precise World. I felt the need to also work with metal, form, weld and create - with OUT the Torrance And accurate rules. This is were I started to craft Sculpture. I let it flow from my huge imagination into my hands and trully enjoyed it. Still do. I closed the Studio in 2009 due to a crumbling economy and personal heath issues. But continue to build and create some what semi retired. At least for now.
