Mrs Allen had convinced him to come and share his knowledge and he accepted the offer. However after paying for paint and a couple of dozen book sized pieces of MDF (a wood with fibres similar to plywood) and giving us his time, we offered to repay our debts. Mrs Allen organised for us to bring in a donation and use that money to buy him some beers if we wanted to.
We couldn't wait until after lunch. Everyone was excited and enthusiastic and were ready to get creating.
At approximately 1:30 Jason Kelly walked through the door. Mrs Allen introduced us and Jason began to talk about his life.
After the inspiring story he handed out two dozen pieces of MDF and we went outside. Jason told us that we had make the MDF look fatigued and antique. We hammered and scraped, thrashed and smashed and once we had unleashed our anger we went back inside.
Covering the MDF in black paint and sand finally the MDF began to look antique and like metal; our objective. We left them to dry and then it was already 2:55; home time. We gave him his beers and our thanks and grabbed our bags to go home.
Jason Kelly does commissions and will complete your asking as best as he can
