    Just gotta make sure my ring is torqued to manufacturer spec.
  8. Sounds like you have some more reading to do, could have saved you some trouble. All the info is on the site. From my limited experience it sounds like you want something on the tougher side not HARD, hard is brittle and your not looking for a durable shard cutting edge but a tool to take a pounding that is gonna hold up.

  12. Thanks for the replies, I may look into a abrasive blaster I think that could come in handy I'll try the vinegar in the mean time.
  13. I just made a pair of them and I think they will be the go to hammers for awhile unless I need something bigger. Very natural feel using the peen and a better view of where your working.
  14. I have been messing around with some roses, and have a commission for 5 of them. Im gettin the hang of all the bending and texturing but am wondering for way to clean up the inside a bit wire brushing only gets the outside and top of the leaves clean but you can still see some scale/ oxidation in between the petals. any tips ideas to try would be great appreciated.
  15. I did coil spring they're not gonna use em a whole lot besides just opening stuff at home more novelty that big users.
  16. Sweet I did a couple roses, bottle openers and a couple knives for presents this year.
  17. We just have to do some extensive product testing.
  18. Nice rose das , looks good, your just doin what the rest of us do, super critical of your work . Not a bad thing just seeing how you can improve. Really like the thorns and that it sits on the leaves . Nice work as usual!
  19. Ok that's a great tip was trying to ponder a better way to scroll them up and there ya go. Faster and better!? Gonna try it soon.
