  1. ← JBIN, wow, very impressive. I am just now starting to try this after years of just admiring. and I can't even get quarters to stick. and suggestions on where to start so I do this right? I am using a gas forge , wrapping them w/ stainless wire . and all I seem to get is squished dirty quarters
  2. I have had funny colors show up when my slack tub was contaminated. They disappeared when I changed the water. I had weird purples and burnt orange colors (I am sure it wasn't rust)
  3. has not set their status

  4. You know nakedanvil, that idea might really catch on, the drawings on some of the blueprints are "sketchy" I use sketchup alot (because I don't know any better) and if it is where you are starting at it is a blast to use when you have no CAD training.
  5. Fancy! I like the lines. I don't see much to tweek though
  6. nice. here is a snake candle holder I just made.
  7. xmas gifts. being winter I have to wait for warmer spells (anything above 10F) before I open the garage door and light a fire in my gasser, but this long thanksgiving weekend co-operated and I made a curtain rod, a set of chisels, two knives and a corkscrew. Now the finish work like sanding on them can be done when it's to cold to have the door open. :D
  8. Excellent! really nice to see such fine work. most of our locally made beer needs an opener so I need to try one of these, it will go well with the corkscrew Hofi demo'd
  9. Be sure to let us see your first project! it really is addictive. I had been working metal all my life and once I got my forge I suddenly felt like a complete fool for wasting all that hard work sweat and frustration trying to do things cold. Now I just waste all that hard work on hot metal... And it's not nearly as frustrating.
  10. yeah, makes my knees weak looking at it. My guess is the ball is forged as well?
  11. they are nice looking. bet you will be able to make them blindfolded after 70... How did you form the celtic ones, was it that unfolding trick?
  12. Mark is my favorite writer on blacksmithing, everytime I read it I learn something new.
  13. Great job. You can see a lot of hard work went into them, no easy to see what stock you started out with. :)
  14. Thanks for letting me in. Looks like a great site.
