nuge Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Often when viewing work I am more drawn to the little things than the big picture. Cool joinery, a subtle texture, a bit of flair, lets see 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuge Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Man, don't take it that way. " Forge on" is great advice. Everybody have some cool deets to share. Best part is that you can crop out all the stuff you messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffy forge Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 When i grow up i want to be able to make amazing peices of art like these. really nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmweld Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 There are some amazing pictures above. Personal preference for precision and skill is second post, third picture. I've tried to do similer work and to make something that simple is incredibly difficult. Anything with curves you can fudge to certain degree but if it is straight square lines they have got to be spot on, square rivet heads I'll have to more research on.

nuge Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Timber deets. The second is cool because the collars are on the diamond thus the timbers are keyed in, and that's a proper rivet, scorched some wood.. The third is a crazy contraption with which you can tighten up the roof. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuge Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nuge, what is the item in your last pic? What size is that? Any chance of seeing the whole thing? Wall piece, bout twenty inches, nope, deets only! (Smiley face). Whatcha got to share, dark frog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyO Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nuge - Are those timber details yours? If so, are you willing to share design info? I'm remodelling my house using 6x12s and 9x12s and a basic timber frame design but planning on using iron for the joinery instead of the traditional Timber Traming mortice, tenonss, pegs and knee braces.

nuge Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yup, dems mine. I used to rent some space from a great timber-guy. We did some fun stuff, not sure how some of it got through the engineering dept. Not that it wasn't bomber, just unorthodox. P.M. me if I can help. nothing that I have pictures of at the moment! Well, when you get some...Where in Wisco? Grew up in Germantown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew T Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I like Nuge's "starfish"design. Andrew, thanks for the comments. The small rectangle rivets started as hex head bolts that I forged square, the back side are set round. The larger tenon end was upset with hammer and torch and then I used a flat ended punch to forge in the angles and keep the edges in bounds.
