Kendrick Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Just finished this last night. Posting pics because a friend wanted to see it. All in all I'm happy with it, but I hate that I couldn't get the curls symmetrical. I always seem to get one side of a project right and then just can't quite get the other as nice. Oh, well, I'm learning. Kendrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Great job!! Getting two objects the same or mirror image is probably one of the hardest tasks we face IMO. That is why my tongs always have LOTS of character Keep hammering on......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John NC Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 It looks good to me. Hand made items are supposed to look hand made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingmaker3 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Something I recently learned: It does not have to BE symmetrical, it just has to provide the illusion of symmetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 On stuff that looks "organic", like this does, I often prefer to avoid symmetry. I find it more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Nice work, Kendrick. I've never made anything that I was satisfied with. While others might ooh and ah, over an item, the flaws in it would jump right out at me. I'm sure the recipient will be quite happy with your creation. I would be.

primtechsmith Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I have a jig that makes the curls...and hooks symmetrical everytime. There are about 100 variations with several interchangable pins. PM me if you are interested in more info on it. I do like the style. Something I have not seen before and will put in my memory banks for later use! Nicely done!

gaylan veater Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Looks great!!! Most of us are hard on the things we make. Most people are very please with the pieces that we seems to think are not good enough. I like the design you have made keep up the work Gaylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
