February 12, 201214 yr Author Thank you. Until recently I had my own studio, a room for which I rented. All tools except my building. But the crisis had to close shop and go to work at the plant. Certainly this is a temporary measure. Wait to the extent possible, I build my own studio. In Russia, it's all very complicated, a subsidy from the state can not be obtained. If I make complex order, I invite my friends blacksmiths, and together we will make it. Workers as such, I did not have. Most of the work - is an individual exclusive products, mostly from the author's mosaic Damascus. Very rarely take a hammering, but expensive and interesting for me as an artist. Wait a crisis in Russia, one of the few to survive as he can. I was glad to answer your questions. Good luck.
February 12, 201214 yr Author Thank you for your praise. Sorry for the synthetic English - not mastered fully translate through Google).
February 15, 201214 yr Thank you, Vladimir. Very interesting. It's been tough here, too. One does what he has to in order to keep hammering. Did you get your press yet or was the ash tray done with your air hammer? Keep up the great work! Randy
February 15, 201214 yr Author Thanks for the suggestions, Randy! Of course, the ashtray was made of 75 kilograms air hammer. Enough power to work. It is better to use a 150 or 450 kilograms air hammer. I've been working on this equipment for this type of extrusion is very good. Good luck in life and in art. Vladimir.
February 15, 201214 yr You produce some beautiful art Vladimir. Thank-you for showing us the pictures.
September 1, 201213 yr Author Thank you for rating Mark! Nice to know that what you do is interesting to someone.
September 1, 201213 yr Demid: First, thanks for joining the gang here, glad to have you aboard. I really appreciate the pictures you've posted, a level of craftsmanship to be aspired to. Ahhh, don't worry about your mastery of English (or is it Googlenglish?) Read around a bit, you'll see your English is as good or better than lots of folk who live here. Heck, misspellings, and weird misuses are some of the main methods we use to invent new words you know. <grin> Keep in touch, you're one of the gang now and we don't want to have to come get you. <wink> Frosty the Lucky.
September 1, 201213 yr Wow! I missed this thread for some time... The architectural, furniture and hardware is really impressive deformation! Thanks for posting, not to take anything away from your work in damask, WOW!
September 9, 201213 yr Author Hello friends! I am very happy that I am in your team. English while Google, but I teach. Your opinion is very important to me, I am glad that my modest successes have pleased you. I want to post some new photos. During that summer I spent with a group of several master classes (workshops). I want to share my impressions.
September 9, 201213 yr Author The first symposium was for the students of St. Petersburg Art and Industry Academy, from which I graduated in 2002. In the department of decorative metal. At this symposium, we tried to melt and forged damascus damask on the traditional hand-forged. Used coke and solid fuel forge.
