Hi Paul,
I just saw your cluttered workbenche and it gives me comfert that such great and clean works comes from it!
I think I should clutter my benche a bit more and see what happens

Really gorgeous work!

Daniel

PAUL LANTUCH · Dec 22, 2008

Hi, Daniel, every one has his own way how to work. For me it has no sense to put all tools in the boxes every evening and pick it up every morning. In this clutter I perfectly know the location of all tools and can find it without looking. Then, after work is completed, some ounce of steel particles could be collected and gold particles separated from debris. And, if I'm lucky to get another commission, it all started again.

Tom Curran · Dec 22, 2008

Paul, your work always inspires me. Just fantastic. I will do a dance so you finish days ahead of schedule.

PAUL LANTUCH · Dec 24, 2008

ddushane · Dec 24, 2008

PAUL LANTUCH · Dec 26, 2008

PAUL LANTUCH · Dec 26, 2008

Ray R Negron · Dec 26, 2008
