easilyconfused Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Very well done. The pictures are great too! Sometimes it can be hard to get a good shot of metalwork. How does it feel in the hand? The only thing I would suggest is blunting the tips of the pineapple twist for delicate hands. Just light taps with a light hammer to prevent distorting the pattern. Filing would be safer now that it's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 That is a very fine dragon, well done. Do dragons bring luck or scare off evil spirits? I suppose driving off evil spirits would be good luck wouldn't it? I see lots of potential for this, handles or course, door knockers, a little scroll on the tail and hangers appear, lots of things. Thank you for sharing. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filing would be safer now that it's cool. Sorry, Must disagree with this suggestion, blunting the tips should not be necessary, the tips are not sharp, any blunting will distort and ruin the effect. I would be more concerned about the horns potential for catching passing clothing. Nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yves Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 that pineapple twist for a dragon body is utterly appropriate. Very creative piece. And the high quality of the forging is something to strive for. A model in every way. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more concerned about the horns potential for catching passing clothing. Nice job I have felt some sharp points on the twist before, to the point of discomfort on tool handles, is why I suggested it. The horns would be possible point to catch as well.
