atakach Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 This is one I have been working on Off and on for a while. It is 1095 and 15n20 twist I welded up. After welding I surface ground the bar and started carving the billet to what I have now. There is still alot of polishing, aand all has to be done by hand , so as to not wash out the lines of the piece. I hogged most of the material off with carbide burs, and then used alot of little files and different sanding pads and blocks. Here's what i got so far: Roughed out After I cleaned up and evened out the sides. Starting to sand out the tool marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atakach Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 sure is alot of work, i hope this is one that will open new doors for me. The carving and sculpting of steel is a major interest to me, just not time to concentrate on it as much as i'd like, but hopefully you will see more of this type of work over the years to come thanks all -andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
