A quick setup is to buy some foam board, I got some from walmart. Use that as your background. If it gets dinged up over time, buy a new piece. Pretty cheap. This is an example of foam board. I placed it inside the shop and the light outside is what lit it

Modified pickaxe
Gayle Brooks replied to Gayle Brooks's topic in Axes, Hatchets, Hawks, Choppers, etc
ha! no costume. Fun idea with the notch, Thomas -
I was asked to be part of the entertainment at a halloween party in a downtown Denver bar last Saturday This is the axe I forged for the entertainment for their “Satan’s Castle” themes party. The party unreal and over a thousand people came up. This axe is a modified pickaxe. I cut off one end, forged a slot and made the blade. I forged the spike out and gave it some twists. I also riveted the blade on site as well. We did a raffle and a lucky guy won the axe. I did do this "on the cheap" since I was not getting much compensation for my time. None the less forging out that spike by hand sure felt like 4140. Over all its pretty dramatic shape / style and was a fun evening project. Dimensions: Weight: 10lbs, Length: #6″, Width: 24″, Blade Length: 21″ 3/4″ Thanks for reading :) more pics: http://isolatedreali...forged-abaddon/

Bronze rail cap

Thats a good idea, Micheal. Also when I am forging cap under the 250 lg I do a couple of passes and work both directions (flip it over and go from the other direction like what Peacock said). Might be trying to do to much in to little of space -
looks great! good job :)

I REALLY like how you captured the tail. The whole piece is really nice, but that transition from body to tail was really done well
