July 20, 200916 yr That looks real good Wagon Master ! I try some animal head carving whenever I can. I takes practice for sure and planning. I think you did a great job on your first one. Dick
July 20, 200916 yr What's wrong with it? It looks like a bull chewing his cud to me. Travis Edited July 20, 200916 yr by Covforge spelling
July 20, 200916 yr 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!
July 20, 200916 yr Author 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..
July 20, 200916 yr 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
July 20, 200916 yr Hi W.M., Dat ain`t bad man! When I decide to forge mine, I hope it comes close to yours, or at least that it looks like some kind of animal , lol. Great . nelson
July 21, 200916 yr Author Thanks Boy's. and yep Steve I am full of Bull ...lol.. amazing at what you can learn off a DVD... Thanks again Bill Epps.. lol.
July 21, 200916 yr I did one a few years ago just to see if I could. Not a thing wrong with yours at all!. Finnr
July 22, 200916 yr 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
August 5, 200916 yr Great job I have been trying to make a bulls head for some time but keep mucking up the horns, yours is great cheers shall keep trying Bully
