Mate that is awesome

Das those hook are fantastic

This is absolutely mind blowing work JPH. If you would be so kind as to help out the un-initiated, where could I find your books?

Buzzkill the first one opened me right up... I posted it in another thread. Thomas Powers i hadn't heard that one before Chris that forge looks amazing. Eventless great work LBS beautiful work

jlp I used a small fuller that i made to use on leaves and decorative stuff l. I’m going to make a bigger fuller soon and probably grind out that ugly fuller line on the draw knife. Goods, cheers

A draw knife and my second attempt at an owl opener. Tried some different techniques for the wings on this one

Peppie that is a great bit of fabrication. i had to re-heat treat the claw hammer I made and finally got a handle on it.

Finally had a go at an owl bottle opener, I got clawed to pieces but it was worth the effort

Jennifer, amazing advice Lbs and CGL that is some fantastic work. I’m so inspired to get home from work to get into my other work!!

Peppie and bluerooster awesome work. That latch is fantastic

Hahaha

Jhcc amazing work!!

Oh man, thank you. I’ll have a go at this tomorrow and let you know how it goes

Frosty! Thank you. I think my issue with the rams head then was not cleaning the joint well enough. I’ll have another crack at it asap In terms of lap weld or animals head, do you bend the steel close to its desired fold then clean and fold it fully, before fluxing and welding?

Thanks frosty I’ll have a look into plaited or matrikote. Any chance you could elaborate on the forge welding process at mid yellow. Friday I tried a few different thing in attempt to weld up a rams head. I tried lots of light taps several times. And tried a few heavy blows also to no avail. Ive forge weld a high carbon but into a tomahawk head in my charcoal forge but that was more of a fluke than actually knowing what I did Binesman I don’t but will look into plistex or matrikote, thank you
