Hello everyone! :)

Mario Marchese · Jun 11, 2011

My name is Mario and I love making things. I love building mechanical things that are self contained. I love collecting old cream cheese boxes, wine corks, bottle caps, and fusing them into my pieces.I was introduced to the forum by Jay Craughan. Jay has been coaching me with a crank organ I am building. His tips and encouragement are priceless! I hope to meet more inspiring people and see more inspiring projects.

some of my work can be seen here

I also placed an album on my page showing my progress on my organ!

That sounds awesome! I live in Nyack NY. It depends where in L.I it takes about 45 minutes to get to Long Island. Which is not that far for some fresh inspiration!

I am rough around the edges with no formal training. I hope this forum will help polish me up!
