You ever notice that the presents you make for people turn out better than the things you make for sale? Maybe you should make presents for everybody. I'm just sayin'.
Dude- It is really true, I am lucky enough that I have other work that supports my metalwork urges, so I pretty much only make gifts. I get to feel good all the time from giving, and I get to make new things all the time.

Who is the Dude behind DudeCraft?
Paul Overton is a prolific blogger, maker, writer, and ukulele player living in Durham, NC with four dogs, two co-conspirators, and a lawn that makes his octogenarian neighbors want to call the authorities. He delights in the unusual and can often be found in his tiny studio next to the record shop, whipping up some sort of self-indulgent nonsense for his own amusement.

About DudeCraft
DudeCraft represents a different kind of tribe in the world of making things, intentionally blurring the lines between, art, craft, engineering, and the good old “Can Do” spirit. Makers of all stripes are welcome here and are encouraged to join the conversation, no matter what their enthusiasms. Guys who knit, girls who weld, it’s all the same on DudeCraft. We are people who make cool stuff, have an urge to share it, and don’t mind explaining how we did it, so that other folks can benefit from our experience.
Dude-
