myloh67 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Forged and fabricated patinated bronze. Lots of work tooling up for this project, dies ect for the hammer. Various styles designed and made by me and Gunvor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 My gosh Myloh! That's more fine bronze forging. My luck forging bronze has been hit and miss so I hope you don't mind if I pump you for everything you know. I want to try whatever you're doing! Frosty the Lucky.

Dillon Sculpture Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Beautiful work as always, the scalloped design looks nautical, I think the handle would look cool with a small spiral shell on the end. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myloh67 Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 The priority for me and most.. are the results acheieved through the mistakes that occur when we enter the unknown. "Can you make me something like this".... "Of course"... Life in a nutshell.. And it's short ... gotta love this precious thing :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I don't know about the "sir" thing Myloh but . . . I'll look up "ColdurA" and see what it is and mayb what's close and available for a scrounger to keep eyes open for. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread and hope all the things I think of to ask are covered by others, my list has already been shortened. Frosty the Lucky.
