Would you believe ed thats like HAMMERED. do'nt know if thats correct English and really do'nt care,but it sound good to me.

my dad and i made a picket twister from a gravely cultivater pto about 15yrs ago, it has a lathe head for clamping and a deadstop.you heat the bar stock up using rosebud and hand crank, works really well, makes really neat patterns going in forward then reverse and repeating.if you texture or fuller 1st then it really gets fun. any tool u can make can pattern the metal proir to twisting.any mark u make prior to twististing weakens the metal in that area.thats where practice and experimentation comes in .thanks, Gary

thanks to all who replied above and sorry about that , i am in Milford, DE i guess the delmarva pininsula is a broad area. thanks Gary

had fun over the years but presently a truck mechanic , metalworker, artist in that order i am self employed in these areas with the 1st & 2nd being 80%of my income. the artist part is fun and i like it. i enjoy the shows and have a few galleries that take work to sell. thanks for reading, Gary
