These projects represent my early exploration into metalwork during my freshman-sophomore year of high school. I began with small-scale pieces like wire pendants designed as Christmas ornaments and rings made as gifts for my family. I learned shaping, surface detailing, and basic fabrication through hands-on experimentation. The knife and restored hatchet marked a turning point in my learning. Completing these tools gave me the confidence to take on more ambitious metal and mechanical projects I did later on.
