A friend of mine was turning in copper to the scrap yard once, and it had been the first time I really seen that much copper.. I remember picking pieces out I wanted to keep, it was so pretty! I fumbled with the wire piece, and it led me to actually make a clock I still have to this day.

After that I went to hobby lobby and randomly got all kinds of jewelry supplies not knowing what I was doing really. That was about 8 years ago. I now pick up garbage and wires out of dumpsters and off the street and I do all the manufacturing on my own.

The moment at the scrap yard with my friend.
