Inspirational Constructionists

This is Jerry Riekert

He gained some fame from his interactions with the band One Direction. He calls himself a simple lamp maker from New York. His lamps may be "simple" but the quality of his work shows through.



This past weekend I met Butch Honeck.

Bronze castings seem to be his primary product, but he has a real gift for building things. It was quite a pleasure to chat with him. He encouraged me toward building and shared his source for obtaining synchronous timing motors, a key ingredient to his kinetic art.
