jake pogrebinsky Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi,Grant.A number of interesting metalworking skills involved here,i'm not sure that i can identify all.That bottom panel with the intertwined pattern almost looks EPDM-ish(?). IF it's,indeed,"artsy"(i've not much use for the term or concept,way ambiguous),then you come to it from the only right direction:Skill first,then "art". Everything about this frame hollers "competence" to me,both how the partsare made,and how they're joined.Very impressed,and wistful for this kind of skill level. The idea of framing with steel is an interesting one,heck of a lot of unexplored potential. I've talked with a German smith a few years back,who played with it some,neat stuff.He originally came to the technology through custom window-casement work.(Much replacing of very inefficient glass in Europe,most of which is very oddly sized,has to be custom). Your wife's picture is also very interesting:Are those guys just forging,or is there some bloomery stuff going on,too? Respectfully,Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) I presume you mean EDM. No, it was roughed out in the mill and then way more hand work than I like to admit. The over-under was done with a side chisel. Overall it did seem to fit. The bamboo was upset by hand and swaged back down. The top should be obvious, no? You may be right, it does look like a bloomery doesn't it? 'Cept the guy in the bottom left is grinding a finished tool. Edited October 28, 2009 by nakedanvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Grant - I never noticed the detail on the middle of the bottom panel when I first looked at the pic, then I clicked on it and magnified it - very nice job with the details. - JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
