  1. Look great. Seems you made the est of those books! Finnr
  2. Looks pretty good!!! Nice job! Finnr
  3. Sometimes we tend to complicate things far more than they need to be. By taking a look at the elaborate items in use and simplifying the method by which they are made I think that a whole lot can be done with grassroots methods. Finnr
  4. She's single and Ice Czar has it exactly right!! John check out the BP john Jobe did on Eternity rose, I based mine off that. Finnr
  5. Files are cheap enough that after A couple cleanings when the are in fact dull, they become stock. Less effort to pick up a new one than fiddle around trying to make a dull fine less dull. Wore out is wore out! Finnr
  6. Valentin, you are a mind reader. Just the prettiest young lady in the graduating class of 1970. Thanks to all the others for the nice comments. Finnr
  7. I brought up temper color in the oven after I wire brushed it, then I shot it with a clear enamel. Turned out fairly well I think. Finnr
  8. Here is a real bad shot of a rose I did for an old High School friend. I will try for a better picture tomorrow when I have daylight to work with. Finnr

    A rose I forged for an old friend
  10. OK!!! Jayco!!! I'm not the only one who has done that!!!! Finnr
  11. Covforge is exactly right. I used to puddle lead on auto bodies when they weren't made out of used beer cans. The same body files I used for that are now being sold by high dollar woodworking suppliers for shaping wood. Finnr
  12. I use Finnr Bjornsson Studios, Finnr Bjornsson is my SCA name and most people know me by it. Finnr / Art
  13. Bag balm is the best stuff I have ever found for sore chapped hands. Your local feed store will have it. Finnr
  14. Last soda can I welded was long enough ago that it had the pull off tab. It can be done, expect more failures that success till you get it all figured out. That was with an O/A rig. Finnr
  15. The fan works and a light wipe of ATF is good too. Finnr

  18. Real nice work there. I like it! Finnr
  19. It proves what a wise man once said. "There's a sucker born every minute." Finnr
  20. Been there!! It bloody well hurts! Safety glasses are a have to now in the shop !! Finnr
  21. Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Bagpipe tunes, Gordon Lightfoot. Classic Rock. Depends on my mood. Finnr
  22. I have never seen a different type other then the horribly expensive copper wash boilers, but a piece of light sheetmetal from your local steel yard is cheap and one less thing to worry about. Finnr
  23. Give some thought to pulling out the cement unless it's refractory and putting in a layer of clay. Cement is going to spall in no time when you subject it to heat. One other worri I have is the wash tub. Zinc fumes are just plain un healthy. Other than that. Looks like you are up and running! Finnr
  24. perfect blade for whom, doing what to who? And against what armour? Finnr
