Das, love the scorpions. Can't help with the welds .

CTBlades, that piece is very attractive.

Intrex , I quite like "it", I don't like it with the brass hardware. Dang good work though.

Jenniferworks?

Ausfire, as a stand alone it is a work of art, a testament to nature wanting to take back everything it gives.

For those who may not know of the undertaking. http://www.guedelon.fr/en/galerie_16.html

Ausfire, you are sharp. The Smithy stands within the village under a spreading chestnut tree. The Smith with large and sinewy hands works within the Smithy, week in, week out from morn till night.

I don't think she's spoiled at all. I would love to sit and watch her bring all her toys down from the hearth and place them out in the middle of the room, each one in a very special place I'm sure.

I lost my best friend this past winter. Can't be without a best friend so I am making another friend.

David, I had the same image in my head moments before I made the post. :0

Frosty, the last time I was absorbed the EMT's had to wring me out.

Really nice work Heap of Jeep. The Rune symbol's meaning coppied from the internet: Strength, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness. Enlightenment, endurance. Defense, protection. The driving force to acquire, providing motivation and a sense of purpose. Indicates that you have set your sights on a reasonable target and can achieve your goals. An honest man who can be relied upon. Eihwaz Reversed or Merkstave: Confusion, destruction, dissatisfaction, weakness.

Firestarter, Three-piece balls have a core center, a rubber covering of the core and a final coating. The rubber covering may be rubber string wrapped around the core. I don't know that they will explode when drilled, perhaps if you remove the final coating.

I am not a big fella but I do have large hands and really prefer a used 10 pin bowling ball for my file handles, plus the finger holes give me the extra control I find necessary when I am working on finer projects like pendants.

ausfire, the crane hooks are handy indeed. They are so representative of a birds upright posture. I was really trying to animate the little guy thus the flapping wings. Quit fun to make and instructional.

You might find some between dinner and bed time. I like the cross.

Ours too. Fresh air, exercise, and plenty of fresh greens.

Yes, green and brown on the outside yellow on the inside. We raise almost all our own food (meat and vegetable) and sell beef and dozens of dozens of eggs. Can't beat farm fresh IMO.

Hey Das, he is feisty, looks just like our flesh and blood bantam rooster. Hard to clean, I fancy letting him rust. How did your rabbit turn out (the finish)?

Lots of pictures of this feisty little rooster.

America speaks.......proud to hear from all of you!

JHCC, that's funny but your messing with the history of the American west here.

WOW! That is what I call a real scrap yard. Lucky you.

Frosty, my guess is that the TV program Gunsmoke was depicting Dodge City Kansas prior to the organization of Ford County and the incorporation of Dodge City, so there would be no sheriff only a U.S. Marshal appointed to that region of the frontier.

Or, watching a video of someone drawing out tong reins (unedited).
