Naw CT, nowhere near the most derailed. I have seen way worse on here.

Not trying to derail you, since rail could be a fine anvil, but have you looked into metal fab shops or machine shops in the area? Many times they can have blocks or rounds of good steel that could be great anvils. Also search and read up TPAAAT http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/3602-thomas-powers-applied-anvil-acquisition-technique/ Other then that use what you have for now and get hammering.

There never are. With a full time job, I tend to burn the candle at both ends too often.

Aus, those are really nice. How bout on the long horn you leave enough material in the handle to fold him up after making the bull head to look almost like a guard on a dagger.
-
Skooby, there is only so much hardened top plate on that anvil. Resurfacing it is taking usability and life Out of it. How long have you used it as is?
-
I can't believe I haven't made any of those yet Vaughn. Love the design.

Just sharing the curse Frosty. Armaturedillo would be cool. In some modern window motors the armature is shorter, they could make great mice. Might make a good addition to the owl. Thanks for the idea Frosty! Gatta keep the imagination soaring.

Lol to all. Geesh! You guys!

Thanks CT. I do what I can when I can. This is a busy time of year at work and at home. I really need to push through an owl that has been eluding me. once it starts coming together I'm sure it will flow. just need to crest that hill. I've been loving seeing what you have been making as well. Keep at it.

The zombie weapons and post apocalyptic weapons are always fun. I've made some axes and stuff before to just be wall hangers. I could probably do them all day long. Once for the fun of it I took some to sell at a fleamarket. Should have seen how many people were just creeped out seeing them. Then the few who absolutely loved them. Looks like a real slasher. Love the chain and loop on the end of the handle.

Thanks CT. It was a pita haha. Next time I'll try clay or welders putty. Keep doing what you do and the inspiration will lead you.

We're all wired a little differently.

You can cut up whatever you land to spread for wings. It's all Parkay as long as it has a bearing on the piece. There is a large Margarine for error. You'll know by looking at it if you nailed it or not.
-
Thanks ID. Give it a try.
-
That's great Thomas, good way to bond. I have been a fantasy and science fiction junky since I was little.

Good to hear JHCC.
-
Nice! One piece of advice from someone that likes knifemaking but hasn't started yet but has researched a lil. Get quality stabalized handle material. It will do you good, start out right. I think you are well on your way. Get the right material to do the job. Quenchant, steel, handle material. Go all in and see what you can turn out. Good starter pieces. Just for what it's worth.
-
Ok, one more.
-
Thanks Darryl! Great to hear. I'll take these first two to work tomorrow to test the waters. Funny enough they are a good indicator or interest. Very excited. I have some from grinders and other motors as well. They are great looking pieces.
-
I thought about it but hadn't asked. How'd you make the bird? Plasma cutter? It's a beautiful outline.
-
Nice Oberu. Basically same style of problem that got me into being a maker of things. Will love to see them finished.
-
I do that with stuff too. Awesome to see how far you have improved over time. I recently found a bucket of earlier half finished projects or mess ups. Wow have I come a long way. And still have a long way to go! I really need to make some of these for the family before Christmas.
-
Thanks much Slag.

Wow Bobasaurus that is a beauty! Yup I'd have a hard time letting go too. -
A friend that was over last night was just telling me about using clay or welders putty. Ain't that coincidence.
