1 more thing,,,your stiker should feel so bad,,he keeps you supplied with beer for the next month :)

kinda like the wire from a wire wheel I had stuck in my side. I didn't think it would ever come out. eventually it worked its way to the surface,,I think havin the lil woman pull it out hurt worse than it bein there. It'll fester keep it clean and it will work to the surface.

that hammer would make a good anvil for a treddle hammer :)

Nice tutorial Clinton. Do ya ever get that little voice when ya know ya are gettin a little greedy on your heat,,I do,,It is usually right before something breaks . All I can do is laugh,,I knew better,,,tnx again keep em comming! Braedon

Thanks alot Ted,,If it weren't for others showing me points, tips, and trick (both in person and through the youtube blacksmithing community), I wouldn't have learned alot of things I have. Thanks ta the better tech we have now, even though it may be a little bit of a pain messin with the camera,, it's easy ta share, just tryin ta pay it forward. tnx again for watchin! ps. I etched that straight razor pw blade yesterday and found a couple a flaws but I think most of em can be takin out,,I'll get pics up soon Braedon

gotta give credit where credit is due,,now I go out and get a metel hand held cheapie from HF ta cut these things quicker ta keep up with orders..lol

Hope someone can find this useful

I was suprised at how quick the glass started to turn molten,,,I had the fire at my lowest blower setting.

thank you for the kind words ted,,even though I look at myself as more of a "demonstrator" of what I am doing,,my shop doors are always open!! as were others that demonstrated to me. take care Braedon

It is a cats eye marble,,glass. I just set the marble in it the way i wanted it to go and layed it carefuly in the forge and slowly heated it up till it started to melt, then took it out and let it cool slowley,,,did it last night so i thought the green marble was appropriate for st. patty's day :D

I followed Dave's phote series,(I doubt I could rival that). but if you like sure how do I change it from bmp to jpg?

ok I don't know what happened there it came out as a file?
