January 5, 201313 yr This is a wizard head that I forged from 1-1/4" square stock.I did this while at the 2012 ABANA conference in Rapid City,SD. USA. The wizard head was forged under the power hammer that was made by Ken Zitur. I had forgotten about it until recently so I decided I better finish it and make it like the smaller versions I make from 1/2" square stock. Total length is 18"
January 5, 201313 yr hey jk :) that looks very groovy so large! - takes on the appearance of a weapon or something on that scale... nice one :)
January 5, 201313 yr The biggest bottle of Burgundy or Bordeaux is a Melchior, or 30 liters. That ought to just about fit.
January 6, 201313 yr Really nice Jeremy! Okay, fess up, that's not really a cork screw is it, it's to screw into the yard for your dog's leash. Seriously beautiful work, well done is an understatement. Frosty The Lucky.
January 8, 201313 yr Author Thank You - Just for size comparison here is the 1-1/4" wizard with some I made from 1/2" stock
January 8, 201313 yr Cool giant cork screw! Great forge on a deadly weapon or a piece of art... _______________ www.sawblade.com
January 9, 201313 yr Author Thanks everyone,I have located a large cork, now for a large bottle.... I may just have to turn one out of wood the shape of a large wine bottle, and I could also turn out the top so the cork fits in it so it looks more realistic. I'll put my ppl on it. :D
January 12, 201313 yr It looks like it would work well to remove the bung from a keg :D The Great Bungholer is an ill fitting name for a powerful wizard.
January 12, 201313 yr Do you wrap the helix around a rod? or twist it up tight and expand ala Hofi style? Love the big size, there's got to be a big corked jug of something at the BevMo!
January 12, 201313 yr Author I do not wrap around any kind of mandrel while forming the worm on my corkscrews - all hand hammered free hand with a half round swage block.
