Introduction

My name is Patrice Lemée and I am a metal sculptor. I came here asking advice about resistance soldering and realized from great advice and warm welcome I received that I need to hang around. I should have come here a long time ago since I am making models after all if only different subjects and that I use exactly the same tools and techniques you guys do. Techniques that are sadly getting lost these days so finding kindred souls is a blessing.

Hare are a few pics of my work.

So thanks again for welcoming me here and I look forward to learning and hopefully giving a little back too if I can. Feel free if you have any questions.

Oh and by the way if it wasn’t obvious English is my second language so pardon me if I sometimes don’t explain myself very clearly, don’t be afraid to let me know if I am not clear.

Patrice

A very big thank you, you guys are too kind.

As far as techniques it's mostly hand work (hammers, files, sandpaper, etc…) assisted by a few machines like a belt sander, lathe, mill, etc…

On a side note I do have an Instagram account where I post some progress and shop pics if anyone is interested.

Michael, no need to apologize, I love learning especially old world terms like that. "Artificer" sounds nice, I might adopt it.
