JRigoni Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I posted one of these earlier, but thought I would take photos of the process. These are two commissions in a similar style coming from the same "Pattern Book of Tools and Household Goods." Each one took around 35 hours, so not exactly quick work, but I tend to ruin projects if I rush. I had to forge an oversized pair of bolt tongs to protect the turnings while forging, fairly nerve racking, but the fly press helped.

dablacksmith Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 wow 35hrs tho... how would you sell um? that would be harder to sell than swords ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Dave Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 That is very fine work. I hope you charged enough. Does the 35 hours mean it took 17.5 hours per item? At $50 per hour, each one would be $875.00. Not unreasonable for the quality of work you have shown us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
