easilyconfused Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I was searching through newsletters on guild websites and came across this one. It has a write-up on his method of making his horse heads to go along with the pictures he's posted here.http://www.bamsite.org/Index/Newsletters/BAM-JulyAugust07.pdf Quote
ironstein Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 good article. They look different in those pics! I think they actually look younger now! Quote
divermike Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Thanks for posting this, when I got the BB horsehead cd, I was very disappointed as there were no written details or instructions to go with the pics, and from what I have heard of his reputation, he is a smith well liked and worthy of respect. I was just not satisfied, anybody can take a bunch of pics and burn them to a disk, but you expect a little more when you pay the price he is asking for the cd. I will burn this file to the cd, and see if the two will make the job easier. For those of you who might think I'm just taking shots at Brian, I wrote to him about this and never got a response back. That being said, the contributions he has made here on IFI, have elevated my level of understanding and expertise, and I am respectful of his talent and his accomplishments. Quote
brianbrazealblacksmith Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Divermike, First let me apoligize for not getting back to you. I really try hard to answer all our mail and I either did not recieve yours or really messed up and missed it. That said, I am sorry you were disappointed with the CD. I tried to convey that it was a pictorial storyboard taken by a professional with large photos of the top and bottom dies and the angle of each hit. There should also have been a hand drawn diagram by Brian in the last picture. We felt it showed it all without having to say a word. If you would like a refund, please let me know and keep the Cd. Sincerely, KB Quote
divermike Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Brian, thanks for responding, no need for money back, perhaps it was my misunderstanding of what I was purchasing. In any event, you do so much for the industry, I'm sure I'll be the richer for your participation. Happy Thanksgiving. Quote
