I have known Marco Terenzi for about 6 months, following his outstanding work on Instagram (his IG handle is @marcoterenzi). Marco is an incredibly talented artist that has specialized in making mini tools. This spring he was commissioned to make a ¼ scale Anarchist’s Tool Chest inspired by Christopher Schwarz book. Marco had more than 400 hours into this tour de force, you can find pictures of this incredible process here. Marco shared with me some of his progress before the big reveal and I was blown away with each photo from him.
A couple of weeks ago Marco casually posted this shot on instagram.
I was humbled that he chose to make a mini of Sterling’s Saddle Tail. Its made of Damascus steel that he forged himself. After I gained my composure, we continued to talk and Marco decided to take on Sterling Tool Works second tool, the Plane Hammer. I am so blown away by Marco’s skill if you are not following Marco and his work you should.
I plan to have these mini’s carefully guarded on display at my booth at WIA.
Marco, there is not a higher honor I can think of than to have you choose to make mini’s of my tools. Thank you for carrying the torch forward for the miniature greats like Paul Hamler!
