Weldalot Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 thats a beautiful piece of work, plenty of patients there,....how much time you have into it ? Thanks, this is just one of many of my birds of prey, ive become a bit obsessed with making them. This one took about 300 hours including the fish. Im on with a Kestrel at the moment and hope to have it finished this week. They are a labour of love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

female_blacksmith Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Wow ! Love the effect of the feathers. Is it all made from mild steel and what have you put on to protect it ? Rather like the colours in it now. Fabulous ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather like the colours in it now. Fabulous ! Yes it just 1mm mild steel and feathers individually cut with the plasma and welded on. Once finished I either let them rust a while or like this one leave it and spray it with Waxoil which darkens it slightly but keeps it "fresh" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
