2Tim215 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 This is something I enjoy doing - taking scraps and forging without a plan. Sometimes they come out nice, sometimes they don't. Not quite sure about this one yet and still playing with a base for it. Was four 8mm gussets that I had lying around. Excuse the really bad cell phone pic.

windancer Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Nice piece! I enjoy making things I design more that making something to someone else's design. I like it :) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Cool! I see the 3 crosses, with the middle one being larger and more defined. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tim215 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks Dave Thanks Thomas - The idea is not mine originally - that honor belongs to you :D I wanted the three crosses on the mount but didn't quite know how to get it so just forged until it happened.

Frosty Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Letting it flow so to speak helps a person to develop skill in thinking on the fly and cooperating with the material. My first impression was of critters talking till you pointed out the negative space crosses. I missed the negative space entirely at first blush. Nice piece, well done. Frosty The Lucky.

2Tim215 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks Frosty. I've been making knives for so long I'm out of practice and it's good to be back exercising the creative lump. My forge and box bellows is almost done so I can get the heats my forging oil forge doesn't allow for so I'll hopefully be forging a lot more "stuff" for the flee markets next month.
