About Me
- Joe Casalino, Jr.
- Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
- I have a B.A. in Sculpture and a M.A. in Fine Arts from Hofstra University in New York. Most of my works were created and exhibited right after college. In the last 35 years, I have been pursuing my career as a Plastic Injection Moldmaker. For me, the intricate process of building and repairing the ‘molds’ was an excellent substitute for the process of creating a sculpture. During that time, I have also kept my artistic talents honed by designing and building stage sets for my wife’s Ballet school. When time permitted, I have continued to create a limited number of sculptures. I have recently retired and so, I can now return to my passion of creating Welded Steel Sculptures.

Getting ready.
On Saturday, I put all the equipment back into the shop, after taking advantage of the great weather in October to weld and finish outside. I also installed an exhaust fan in the shop. It will take the place of the fan that I was using to circulate the air in the shop. With the fan, I had to keep the door open and that let lots of cold air in. I still have not decided on what to do about the heating problem. I do have a large electric heater, that works well when the temp. is not too low; but, the electric cost is high. I did augment that with a kerosene bullet heater, that died after all these years. I have a smaller propane heater; but that is a lot smaller than the kerosene one. I am waiting till I really need more before I buy anything. Maybe another propane one will do.
