jeremy k Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy k Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
