Thanks for good words! I'm really glad you like it. I'm hobbyist and apprentice for about a year, but I don't have much time to work, because I'm also studying. But in the future I hope to become a smith. I already have build my own workshop :)

Hello to all, my name is Adomas, I'm from Lithuania. I'm new at this forum. And I want to share my first forged sun. I guess, some of you may wonder why it is called sun. In Lithuanian mythology we have God called Teliavelis, he is a blacksmith. There is a myth, that the earth was dark and everywhere was evil spirits, but God Teliavelis forged a Sun and thrown into the sky. So we have folk art that could be called sunsmithing. It is similar to cross, but it is more ornamented and have different meaning. Sorry for my bad English.
