Rob Symmers

Rob started working with electronics at the age of twelve, long before every electronic store had kits – back then it was a trip to the library to get a book on scratch built projects.  The first was a crystal radio that worked surprisingly well.  The next years were followed by light sensing, relay control and other projects that are lost in the sands of time…  At sixteen he bought an acetylene welding set and started making metal art.  His work history encompassed custom sheetmetal shops, machine shops, marine fabrication and electrical.  Now he works full time creating kinetic sculptures and sound art in his home machine shop.
