Mike Ruff of Ruff Metal Works is a local Portland-area auto mechanic, high school teacher, and artist. He builds functional home decor steampunk art out of his inspiration for his lifelong love of everything mechanical and everything organic. All mechanical parts used in his art are recycled/repurposed parts. Growing up in Portland area and working with automotive parts since he was a child he's always remembered seeing art in parts. Now he is creating it. 

Columbia Center for the Arts Industrial Show runs the entire month of March 2019.
