Dillon Sculpture Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Beauties!!! Is the small brass rosette a signature of sorts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhartironwerks Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 No, just decorative pin stock...eye candy. I did ask one maker about having an 'E' made, but they said they couldn't do it. Somehow I think it can be done. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhartironwerks Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Tantrum86, I set the initial weld on the anvil, reflux, then go to the power hammer to draw out. The only time I use the press is to weld the feather, then it's back to the hamme to draw it out. I can't seem to 'feel' the steel quite as well with the press. Maybe if I used it more...
