100 Photos! CLICK HERE to visit photo album

Please tell someone about this site!  It is how I get work, find new ideas and create new works.   Iron??

 Grab a cup of coffee and check these out.  It is a time consuming but informative task and I hope you will gain insight for your own project, for your garden, your fencing requirements and gated entries.  You will learn of my appreciation of steel, how permanent and timeless your project will be and how artistic your project will become.

    Each of these photos on this page will introduce you to my other sites.  You can go back and forth amongst the sites and it is very easy to contact me with your questions and comments.  I will get back to you fast!

Click the rose photo and you will enter my personal garden.  You will see my stone bridge entry, my slated greenhouse, my garden pots, the large Trumpet Vine entry to the garden itself, and a very little cooling pool.  Plus, of course, my garden philosophy!

This "workphotos site" is a little less wordy displaying photos of jobs that I have done.  Perhaps it will give you ideas for your own home?  Feel free (it really is) to contact me if I can contribute!

Metal Art and Masonry is a site explaining the artistic side of what I do.  My masonry is pretty much limitted to slate and travertine (what Rome was built of) and the artistic welding experience is continueing to evolve, from garden art to silly ladies and now wall hangings, pictures made of steel and furniture.  Maybe you could share some other ideas?

This photo (me) will take you to a more specific site, mostly about fencing, railings and gates  It is my bread and butter site, what I do most of, and allows me the ability to work on my other creations.  I hope you enjoy these sites and hope they will give you ideas for your own creative visions.  Call me sometime, Jerry Carlin.

That's me in the garden!

I made a saxaphone today, actually a picture of one on stainless steel,   ground and torched.  I have enclosed 2 photos on the essay page, check them out!  They are the very same saxaphone taken from two different views! and look at the difference!  These are so fun to do I will make a series with different musical instruments! How fun!

Gardens can be peaceful, artful and dynamic. They are shared art, an appreciation of being allowed to interfere with nature.
