Frosty

Very interesting shape Jim, I like it. It expresses the plastic nature of steel very well. How'd you do it?

Very nice job, does it work as well as it is pretty?

Nice banana hook Dunstan, I like it. How stable is it? They usually have larger heavier bases but if that works well I'm sold.

That is a nice looking froe. How does it work?

Are we talking pan fried . . . trout for lunch? Man's gotta take a break now and then you know.

Yeah, Ian's right it's too clean! Don't worry that's a self correcting problem, we won't hold it against you. How many stations are you planning on?

Working with anvils that close together I like pointing the horns at each other it keeps folk from running into one moving around. Sometimes you need to move quickly and pocking your leg into a horn can leave you limping. Hanging a couple pull blinds so you can make a shaded corner might be handy too.

Beautiful place you have there, I like it.

I think we have a very different concept for door knockers. I think of something screwed or otherwise attached to the door, not a selection of heavy hard items to beat it with.

Maybe you attached the wrong pics?

I love the T shirt, "I Don't Blow Smoke I Forge Iron."

I've never seen pointy eared Doxies before but those are very cool. I'm biting my tongue here Uri. If you'd ever lived with a Dachund you wouldn't say things like that. Formidable little dogs, bred to hunt badger by going into their den and bringing them back for the hunter. You have to experience that level of insanely stupid brave to appreciate it.

Nicely done. What is that twist called? I see one turn and a tenon. I'm looking forward to seeing what it becomes.

Nice pair of draw knives. The blades look flat and the handles look pretty level with the blades. Are you using them for draw shaves or truing up timbers?

I find curving the blades downward in the center a bit and having the handles angle up slightly from the plane of the blade makes better draw knives for pealing bark. A straight blade and handles angled down from the plane of the blade makes for better spoke and handle shaves.

Please bear in mind that's just my experience with draw knives, what there is of it. I know I've read about them but that was years ago and I wasn't so interested by then. It's funny how quickly a guy learns to peal logs while they're green <grin>
