Frosty, fire away sir I'll do my best to answer :)
-
Thanks folks. Frosty the dug out texture was achieved using a cheese fuller that moved the material widthways, the material is silicone bronze, this is worked at a dull red and pickled in acid prior to patination. I have made a similar work in steel although this latest work captures most of the qualities one loves about this craft. :)
-
Forged and fabricated patinated bronze. Lots of work tooling up for this project, dies ect for the hammer. Various styles designed and made by me and Gunvor.

John she is a beauty, and I love the fact you have configured this beast to run from a foot treadle, simply superb, sweet out..! give us a go.. :D

Hoping this is of some use

Some old work in bronze forged an tigged. Four elements. A needle file created the definition of talon where square section meets round. Im not able to help with forging ball and claw from a single bar, anyhow some food for thought.

two piece hammer question
myloh67 replied to Richard Furrer's topic in Power Hammers, Treadle Hammers, Olivers
I have been thinking along this line for a while, to use a heavy leather that is attached to anvil and is allowed to drape over the void, you could still get at your wedges, still havent done this yet. -
What a beautifully equipped space, those tools are real choice, especially like the bellows mounted up on high. Magic. Theres got to be somebody local to make this space productive again, when you think of all of those other creative energies galssblowers ect on tap and all around you.

Thank you Steve, Bog Oak Alfred's got a bronze crutch and an iron hat!

Hi Alfred here, bit creaky today.

Its a stone from India with a heathery hue, all forgings from 1 3/4 inch round, barr the dish from sheet. Approx height 4ft, all tig welded together, my wifes design and i was robot :P
-
Thanks all! your kind. Michael it was forged intuitively, having said that I have made similar in the past. 94something bronze i have never forged, whats that like? Bentiron i think this is a native plant from south america or possible asia, it does grow here but its not native
-
I work it at a dull red, viewing it in a metal bucket away from ambient light. I stop forging when it starts to becomes springy or resistant to the blows.
-
Thanks for that :)
-
Brilliant work Michael, all the best for the competition.
-
I agree, its silicon bronze, Coldur A.
-
I often wished that i had some sort of device that i could clamp material into that needed to be welded and due to the nature of the shape found conventional vices or clampimg mechanisms having to be doctored in some way. Thats what i would do with it. Looks like a robot without the motors.

Bronze on sandstone 24inch high.

I would divert those customers to a whitesmith or a blacksmith with no sense of humour, also, I think if a hammer that person works is 100 years old or more then I would assume that it has been given fair treatment, call me an old (@!#!*$) stick in the mud and theres older ones round here, but respect from any perspective is the way forward. Love the ones your with! Treat yourself and your hammer fair.

What size of bar Beth?
-
Its 30 inch long and 3 inch wide at its widest. I tapered the 2 ends of a length of 1 5/8 x 1/2 and fullered the material width ways under the hammer. The bucket was 7/8 round bar drilled out and then forged on the bick. All material mild steel finished with beeswax.
