SAFETY AND CARE

I try to design sculptures that could be run continuously, but I don't suggest leaving them running unattended, or running them for extended periods of time. First and foremost, they are potentially attractive to children. There is always a danger of pinch points or tipping if they are mistreated. And there is a matter of their uniqueness...I can't always predict or prevent a problem that might develop. Only time will tell. For the most part, I would treat them like you would a blender in your kitchen... use it as long as you need, and then shut it off before you leave the area. That will also reduce wear and tear.

Most of my work is electrical- and unless otherwise specified, it is not meant to get wet. Don't let that happen or it could be ruined and/or shock you.

I try to make sculptures that are safe and durable. HOWEVER...they are one of a kind works of art. It's impossible to know how long they will "live". In most cases, key components are built to be replaceable, and in general, I try to build them with the thought in the back of my mind that I may have to make repairs. You can email me if there's a problem. A problem hasn't been brought to my attention yet, but I'd be glad to try to help. To prevent the most likely problem a machine might have (Squeaks)... you can apply oil and/or paste wax to eliminate friction.

If I am asked to make a repair, I will be happy to try. You may have to pay for shipping if you are not local- and I can't guarantee a return to original condition. There may also be a materials charge, however, I don't plan to charge for labor (unless an unusual situation arises)... as it is in my best interest to keep my work in good condition, and my customers happy.
