December 2, 200916 yr Here is a fence section I did for out in front of the house a bit over a year ago. It has weathered nicely and is almost ready for a linseed oil treatment. It was done to practice and help exercise my technique for tapering points and curling rat tails. I also practiced some twisting. The big letter "B" is for our last name. If I'm going to do more fence sections like this, it will be after I get my power hammer constructed. Spears.
December 3, 200916 yr Author Yes, You're right ironstein, there is a 9 foot wide spider web with a 10 inch tall spider in the middle in the fence section next to this one. It's almost entirely welded except the spiders legs which were hammered using an oxy-acetelyne torch before I had my forge. Most of my big sculptures in my yard have been welding projects. I just didn't want to flood this forum with all the welding I do. I kind of wanted to stick to the forging area here. You folks really do have an eye for details. Thank you all for your compliments.

December 3, 200916 yr When the gallery is back online you can post pics of your welding there, and not flood the forum. There is area for description and commentary in the gallery. Many people here would love to see your work. Phil
