CRAFTBENDER Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Here is some stuff I just finished. A couple of paper towel holders I made as a thank you gift to some good friends, and some handles. Some of it was heated in the Michael Porter forge I just finished in the near past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Those are all really nice! I'm going to have to save those pics for future reference. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Nicely done! the finial scrolls uniform. I like twisting rectangular bar for the strong texture but it can be tricky to get even. You're came out very nicely as did the scrolls, uniformity scrolling is another tricky skill to master. Rather than welding the handles rivets look good. Collars would secure the scrolled ends to the horizontal rack and will hide welds nicely. Well done, you obviously bring a serious kit of skills to the craft, even without having seen pics of your models. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAFTBENDER Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks. I agree about the rivets. Next time. I have some copper rivets that would contrast with the steel. Also the collars. Good points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofi Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Craftbender hi I want to reffer to the handles from one point of view ,the design is very nice but the welding disturbs me . I think that if you make a ''hidden welding '' drill a 7/16'' hole in the back plate and weld in that hole to the handle ,it will hold very good and no one will see the weld. just my humble advice Hofi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAFTBENDER Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yes, I believe you are right. The welds don't quite do the trick. Next time I'll either do the rivets or the plug weld from the back side. Thank you for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
