Hi...
my name is Darryl Pike. By day I work as an electrical engineer and by evening I work as a Wood-Smith,
Pewter-Smith and most recently, a Pottery-Smith. I have to correct myself because I used the word "work"

refine the complete barrette manufacturing process, finding sources for the materials, purchasing the wood working
equipment and building production space…. But the wait was all worth it.
