| My entry
I made this feather from 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" X 1/8" angle iron. Most of the detail was done cold, as I found when I tried to do it hot it took several heats to just do a couple inches of it. I tried it cold and it worked just fine. I welded a 1/4" round bar on the end for a stem with my O/A rig. The finish is just a brushing with a brass brush to give it some color. I may spray some clear on later.

| Vase.
Piece of 70 x 70mm angle. Gashed most of the way through. Hot bent back on itself to form a box section. Top edge was upset then peened outwards to form a lip. Incised decoration was done with an angle grinder. one_rod |
