Viktor Robert Bederka Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hi guys, these are my first works, both made from scrap metal. Parts of flower in frame are welded together(mma rutil). Rose forged in home-made forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Nice work. Where in the UK are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Robert Bederka Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Nice work. Where in the UK are you? Thanks :) but i am not from UK, concrete am from Slovakia :) (sry for bad grammar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 That's OK, and your grammar is fine. Just drawing you out on where in the world you are. The Brits would call it MMA rutile*, on this side of the pond in 'Murica we would call it E7024 stick welding. *Manual Metal Arc, rutile flux rods.

Frosty Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Lei: Welcome aboard, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header we won't keep bugging you about it. Nice piece, especially for a beginner, it has a nice organic flow to it a very good representation of a rose. The framed flower is a little too regular and well centered. that may sound like a pretty shallow critique but it'll be more pleasing to the eye if the subject is a little off center in a frame and flowers are rarely straight so a littl angle or bend in the stem and it'll be more pleasing to the eye. Don't worry about your grammar, it's just fine, we're blacksmiths not english teachers grading papers. Slovakia is about the only Slovakian word I know. Frosty The Lucky.

Viktor Robert Bederka Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 i did what u said me about my profile and when i saw your location...ALASKA...my heart is beating. Once i want to visit this amazing country. I hope my dream come true, someday. U know am naturally founded guy, am fascinated with wild nature which is typical for alaska. but back to the topic, thanks for criticism. I spend all my free time in workshop, still thinking about my next projects etc. am going to forge this weekend, i hope my creation will be "good as lasts".

Frosty Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If you ever get this far please let me know I'd love to host you for some touring and playing with hot steel and hammers. Heck, I'll probably try to get you elected to office in the Alaskan club. They elected me president when I went to the bathroom ad won't elect someone else. <sigh> Oh I have it! I'll use my vast presidential powers and appoint you ambassador at large! I'll bet we'll be the only blacksmith club with a Slavakian office! Perfect! Frosty The Lucky.
