Stanley Kazimierczak’s machine shop and home, about a mile from my pewter shop, burned to the ground in a fire on March 30, 2009.

Stan is a great guy, and almost nothing worse could have happened since he did not have insurance. He makes a lot of tools for my shop and helps out a lot of people around town. He’s a real crackerjack machinist, and he does beautiful work. We want to see him get back on his feet and back into business.

Stanley has done a lot of work for me over the...

Photo of Pewter Baby Cup (straight sides)

Watch as Jon Gibson demonstrates how he uses the lathe to fashion a beautiful Baby Cup. Beginning with a flat pewter disc he spins and shapes the metal to a form, and then finishes with a gently-rounded lip. He completes the piece by soldering on a graceful, cast-pewter handle. Enjoy!

Fluted Bud Vase

This year we are proud to add four new pieces to our product line.

Last summer, I acquired a rare 18th century geometric handle porringer at auction. I’ve waited many years to find one, and with it for inspiration, we now have our 8th different large porringer handle design! Priced at $85.

Our new Fluted Bud Vase stands 7 inches tall and has a beaded edge on the foot. It’s a simple, yet elegant design and a wonderful gift item. Priced at $45.
