Hello,

    my name is Graeme Park and I read Ganoksin a lot but I don't write
    all that much. I thought that I would just send you my new website
    address to appall/enthrall you, its www.craeven.eu. I'm self taught,
    living in a foreign country with wife and 2 kids to support. It's
    taken me about 5 years of scrimping and saving money,stealing time
    whenever I can etc etc to get this far. Everything I do is
    ultimately supposed to be mass produced so I concentrate on lost wax
    casting and now have everything I need to get up to the casting
    stage, at this point I let a casting shop do that. I always await
    eagerly getting my castings back, it is so exciting to have them.
    They do such a fantastic job for a good price. I'm also in love with
    my tools that enable me to make anything I want to now, in particular
    my milling machine, that I can rotate and mill at different angles to
    the table. Also I like my latest acquisition - a very basic (manual
    pump) wax injector. Now I don't have to resort to all sorts of tricks
    to compensate for the fact that I was filling my molds with wax via
    gravity alone. Bliss. I like very much medieval designs and I do
    quite close copies of things that I like or else I do pieces
    "inspired by...". I'm always amazed at how craftsmen 500 years ago
    made such complicated pieces with such little technology at hand... I
    suppose they had more time! Now I have made a small collection that
    is relatively coherent as a whole and my next project is to build up
    my website and get it connected to the web properly etc etc and then
    make some more pieces. Also I'd like to do some pieces in gold!!!
    Yummy. I like Ganoksin for technical advice and also to see what
    other people are doing and for motivation etc and as soon as I can
    figure out how, I'm going to send some pictures to the gallery and
    make it a link to my new website.

Thanks, Graeme.
