"My work is a combination of forging, machining and fabricating. It seems like more machining, but it always starts with a forged … something," says Yusko. "I enjoy that process: heating up a bar of steel and transforming it into a shape."
Yusko continues while a cat named M slinks around the shop, completely unimpressed by the craftsman's lofty musings:
