About the Editor: Timothy Adam
I am a self taught metal artist, and a certified Mig welder. I started designing modern metal furniture in 2004. I built my first piece in Baltimore with my sister-in-law who is a furniture designer. I found my passion in metal and kept on designing and building. I struggled for 4 years to make a name in local galleries in the Grand Rapids Michigan area. A friend of mine introduced me to Etsy in February of 2007, and it changed my business. I started creating a jewelry line and have not turned back. In November of 2007 I had to quit my full time job cause my passion was becoming a dream come true! I am now selling all over the world through my Etsy shop. I also have wholesale accounts around the country with galleries, museums and salons.
I love the handmade community and Etsy… and Handmadeology is my way of giving back!

I’m new to ETSY, am enjoying it-easier than I thought. And had we not had to cut off direct tv cause of costs – I might not have found you – which I found through an off-shoot of linkedin – a professional networking site. Sure like your solution-oriented attitude – I love creating (have 10,000 pcs of artwork – 2000 hand-drawn (old school) designs & more on computer as I explore Photoshop.
You are SO appreciated esp. for us “old-schoolers” who learned how to type on a manual typewriter – you guys know what that is eh? Ever heard of “party-line phones”?

Hi Tim,
What can I say…. you and your Handmadeology is just plain amazing. I can’t stop reading! Everywhere I look I want to download stuff, sign up for things and write. How do you ever find the time for all this and your art I do not know.
I used to be a personal coach for high creatives (artists) and think that I probably have lots of ways that I could contribute. Thank you for setting up such an inspiring space for all of us.
