bigfootnampa Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I like those very much! You have some nice textures (I LOVE texture) and designs there. Some pretty high grade work IMO! Especially for a group effort (where it is often difficult to concentrate as well as a craftsman working alone might). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Nice work, but how did you get it into a bowl shape without ruining the chasing inside? I don't see any "soft" face hammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Brooks Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 He had some different setups to sink it. One was with this round tool, another was a shaft. Both sunk the metal into a ring. I used the shaft on mine. The circle it made on center was a little gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks for the pics Rory it looks like a good day for sure! I only see one guy wearing hearing protection do you guys use bull horns or sign language at meetings? Maybe the club moto is. . . HUH? Seriously though, I'm thinking I'll have to make some shaping tools for my little air hammer. I'd love to turn out some pieces like you show. Well done. Frosty the lucky.

Maybe the club moto is. . . HUH? lol Everyone did have ear plugs in, though we were still saying "WHAT!"Nice work Rory, who's shop? Do your know Morris Hallowell of NRBA? This was Scott Kretschmer's shop in Loveland, Colorado and no I dont know Mirris Hollowell. that looks great rory i never seen bowls made like that -what are all the air tools? i love the little gift the tool left on your bowl too - lookin good!! thanks for posting can you do it with a fly press? Here is a link from youngdylan on the some hammers http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/rivetgun2602.php I believe we had a Chicago Pneumatic brand. I am sure you could do this with a fly press as well, depending on the stroke but could get around that with some creative tooling. The press Scott used was a 25ton and with the 1/4" plate for the bowl. We have a 50 ton at the shop that I am eager to try when things slow down.
