silvereaglevaughan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi all after a Half harted attempted at blacksmithing a few years ago I'm coming back around to metal work. I was tasked with making a shawl pin to complement Christmas gift for a family member and it kinda snowballed from there. So far its jest been copper wire & sheet forming but planing on moving in to steel plate. Hear is some of my work so far. shawl pins kite pins Magnetic Hematite & Bat Bracelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primtechsmith Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Welcome. it is always good to see Virginia people on here. Our state is full of blacksmiths and opportunities to visit shops, take classes, attend guild meetings, and buy tooling. The Central Virginia Blacksmiths Guild is near by.... www.cvbg.org Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsForge Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We meet once a month. Yeah after looking at your pics, I am sorry you missed our January meeting. Our demonstrator showed us some of what he had been working on from Charles Lewton-Brain's book - Foldforming. He demonstrated some of the techniques. Very similar to what you have in your pics.
