Art Reflected in Wrought Iron by Hvale Forge THURSDAY JULY 29, 1987 (Continued from page 1) now comes from all over the counâ€" try for these inimitable products. It is a fascinating tale and we are mmmwlitwywlnlmm "My father and I started our busâ€" iness as ahobby or as a combinaâ€" tion bf our hobbies. My father‘s playthings and gadgets. He loved to work with tools. My hobby was drawing. I studied at the Art Instiâ€" tute later I studied at night school. I finally reached a stage where I deâ€" cided that art was my chosen field. My art was not to be commercial, it was to be spelled in capital letters and surrounded by an idealistic aura. If anyone suggested that I turn my talents into profit I threw up my hands in horror at such a desecraâ€" tion. My father was employed in a field that paid well but which was totally unsuited‘ to his temperament snd eontrary to his convictions. After years ago our fittle family was gathered about the fireplace when an idea came to me. For years we had wanted a weathervane for the peak of the roof on our home, but nothing had been done about it. Sudâ€" denly on that most fateful night ‘(fateful at least for us) I jumped up. "I‘ve got an idea for a weatherâ€" vane!" ; a library. It was easy.â€" Everyone was short of help in those days. ‘In the six years X worked there I worked myself up to the position I had when I started. The friends I made at the library and my daily contact with the public are the two greatest treasures that I took with me when I left. One evening many Dad got some sheet metal from the basement and I got my paints from my room. ‘The metal was put on the floor and with my brush I laid out a design incorporating ‘the family; father working with a shovel, mother watering a flower little sister had just picked and lastâ€" pose, reclined on theâ€"ground with head supported by an indolent elbow. Then father and I set to cutting it out. A block of iron, a chisel, and a hammer were our only tools. At about oneâ€"thirty that evening it was finished, truly a work of art if ever there was one. We proceeded to show it to mother, holding it up for her admiring gaze. Imagine our chagrin as one by one the figures toppled over. The metal was 321 too thin to support its own weight ly myself in my most characteristic .. . truly a sad fate for our first effort. But my father is an ingeniâ€" ous man and forthwith came an 1‘;“' "Maybe we can make a sign it." 7 The next night we made a wooden frame and set the wouldâ€"be weather vane in it. Together with our name which was cut out like the figures. We bought a cheap bent iron bracket and hung it on a post down by the road at the entrance to our place. Some neighbors saw our sign and admired it, so, upon their reâ€" quest, we made them one. I rememâ€" ber how shocked I was when they insisted upon paying for it. Woe is art. Other neighbors saw the signs andâ€"wanted one. All of these of course were framed in wood. "Jim, we could develop this into a paying business," said my father. "I want to be an artist, not a menâ€" ial laborer," said I. So there it If your car is a "terrible sight" , . . drab and dirtyâ€"looking . . . Why not is an attractive, satinfactory job. as a child. ‘When I grew older the depression. My father‘s salary was cut, my pay was cut, but it cost just as much to live. "What about it, Jim; shall we give it a try?" rested. ‘Then, thank goodness, came asked Dad. Things by this time had gotten into a pretty bad way financially. So the pressure of cirâ€" cumstances forced me to doff my smock and flowing bow tie and to trim my. flowing locks, that is symâ€" bolically. My father arranged to work half time for half pay, spendâ€" ing the extra time soliciting customâ€" ers and making signs. Out of the first four people he saw, three orâ€" dered signs, and he hasn‘t yet been able to see the fourth person. A propitious start. In February 1984, he left his old employment altoâ€" gether and spent full time at the forge. I maintained my job at the library during the day and did deâ€" signing in the evening. I soon beâ€" came reconciled to commercialism, for I saw that it was unfolding to me new fields in designing.
