BNotestine's Profile

Bio

The beginning of Nut Heads and Limited Creations was in June of 2000. My dad was the kind of guy who always bought what ever he needed. At times this made it difficult to find the right gift for him. The only real way to completely impress the man was to make him something. So one day at work, while I had some free time, I created a little figure with Stainless steel welding rod and a nut for a head .Two more nuts and a washer became the “throne” and The Thinker was born. I brought my artistic creation home to wrap and show my wife the unique father’s day gift. Much to my surprise when my mother-in-law spotted it, being very impressed, she decided that she also needed one. And the reaction was similar with many other friends and family members.
The overall response to The Thinker was so positive that I started getting ideas for Christmas presents. My daughter is a photography student so she would receive a Camera Nut, my wife who is an avid gardener would get the Garden Nut, and for Dad, an Ice Fishing Nut and a Pool Nut. At this point I was having so much fun making them that I couldn’t stop so when I drew my brother’s name in the family gift exchange the Guitar Nut joined the growing list of Nut Heads. It was my brother that made me think that these could be more than just cute little Christmas gifts. He’s a collector, and his first words were “these will sell!” And he and my father convinced me to buy my own welder and start a small business. Today I have around 60 regular models, have made 100’s of custom orders and I am always looking for new ideas. I own copyrights and I’m a proud member of the Silver Lining Gallery in Waterville, Oh. Also I participate in many of the events that occur in the black swamp region of northwestern Ohio. It is my hope that people enjoy my art as much as I enjoy making it.
