Travis Covington Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) What's wrong with it? It looks like a bull chewing his cud to me. Travis Edited July 20, 2009 by Covforge spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creek Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 awesome job!!! What type of steel did you use to make to punches? How did you make the punch for the eyes? Seems like the training is going excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lumpkins Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks for the comments, I used a piece of coil spring to make the punches, and drilled a hole in the end for the eye punch, Then grinded it down to size.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder19 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Animal heads are hard (atleast for me), so I think it looks really good for a first try, heck, I'ev tried several times and still have some that don't look that good. welder19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Masuk Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Looks great to me good job did you do all the cuts with a chisel? Its not easy, you need to use coal or shorten up the heat with water if your using propane I see some people using a zip wheel to cut horns and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
