MOblacksmith0530 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 One of the wildest that comes to mind was a 5 inch stainless steel nail for a sword swallower couple he put it up his nose. Up to the head of the nail from what I was told. I was not inclined to watch that display. Another was a cast iron street lamp that had lain in teh myd for decades and rotted through. I told the lady I could fabricate a forged piece that would match the cast iron but that it would take almost a day and with a shop rate at 50.00 per hour she declined.

MOblacksmith0530 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 @ drewed Hmm I may have to update my prices. I say they start at 1500 and go up from there and take a minimum of 3 months. I haven't had a taker yet thankfully. I have made a few swords but only for myself to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsies11 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 hmmm, the oddities, definatly involved in the world of bdsm, i once had a man ask me to make him a set of handcuffs, and these were the simple old ones with a padlock on each side is what he wanted, i said itll run about 200, he said hed pay and i casually asked "are these gonna be wall hangers or are they going to be used?" the man was flushed and i told him to say no more, ended up making it from 2 links of an old logging chain, i cheated by welding half links around the hinges and beating around them for a hammered look, i forged the actual shackled part, and i called a place and bought 2 small padlocks that worked off the same key for about 50 bucks for both. i ended up dropping the price for him to 150. he loved them. and i had one woman to make a device that nailed to a board that went around someones neck, got to mesure her and made it, this time i got a cheaper price on the lock. lol. and being a teenager ive had friends ask them to make them weapons, and i said okay, they wont be for anything but a wall hanger and when i ask for the design, i get this 5ft tall, 1 handed sword that has the blade come down to a hand gard, the blade was 2ft wide and he still wanted it light enough to swing with one arm, i backed out and always said id never make weapons again. untill i had a guy ask for a set of hand forged, usable steel nunchuks. the guy couldnt even swing the wooden ones very fast, so i quickly gave him a 300dollar estimate. and he declined. steve: ive yet to get a request for a chastity belt, but when i do, ill send em your way.

Sukellos Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Reminds me of when I get requests to make swords. My standard reply is "Sure I can make a sword. I need $2000 down now, and another 2K when you pick in up in 2 or 3 years." LOVE that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
