I've done the obligitory google search.....

thanks in advance

Just about ready for paint 

Thanks....

Update on church sign. 

Starting to come together

very cool

Started church sign for small church we go to. 

Not sure about something on it can't quite place it yet 

Going to have grapes wrap around the top so I want to leave it more open on top panel. 

Plan will be to have a scroll panel on top and bottom of 4x4 wood sign which will be held by 1"X1/4 flat stock. 

My assistant insisted on being in photo  

thanks...

don't really know how to photo-etch.....

Thanks

I like the idea of the tray. 

Ive started next job but I will whip out a little card tray and give him both. 

 Thanks for the idea Frosty. 

This is why this site is great. 

Thanks guys

Decided on separate card holder which can be used with or without hand sculpture. 

Yes. Gun would be staying 

very cool shop

My tattoo artist friend wanted to trade a card holder of some sort for some work. 

Heres what I came up with. 

Kinda a combo of forging and sculpture. 

I used his hand holding an old school tattoo gun as a model  

plan on him leaning buisiness cards up against it or perhaps a small separated card holder to go in front.

Anyway, it was fun  

Here is my makeshift anvil

small section of slab from a steel mill. 

Prob should be smoothed but it works fine for larger roughing 

Thanks John. 

Built a little garden thingy for neighbors. Wife painted. Not sure of its use. But she likes it. 

Also started on next project. Card holder for tattoo friend of mine 

this one is turning into more of a sculpture 

wants a card holder in shape of his hand holding old  tattoo gun. 

Thanks Frosty. 

Thanks guys
