Hi Folks,

 

After months of reading, practicing and workshop building, I've got my first real project done. I know it's nothing special and not a high level quality work, but I did it myself. Those are now on the front wall of my house.

Starting material was a 50 cm long 10mm round stock. 

 

 

Glad to hear any comments!

 

Greetings

Congratulations on getting things going. I like the teeth.

Nice first project, and the jaws and teeth are nice. Keep it up.

Looks cool. I like it,

Different than most first projects. I congratulate you for doing something that you could get done with decent results and not jumping right in to something that would frustrate you.

I like them, too. Great job!

Nice work.....the teeth really add to it !!

Cool, it must be great to have had such a good start!

Thank you all for the kind words!

 

Well actually I've been working on some other stuff where frustration arised bigtime  ;) . Those are all half-done projects, nothing to show yet.

Even with these was a difficult-to-handle part: after one heat when I was drawing the 0 stock, all the blows left hammermarks. All the same right-edge mark. I stopped, readjusted my grip on the handle, concentrated more, but the same kept happening. After the next heat everything went well again. I couldn't erase those marks and they happen to be on the visible side of the number. Maybe need some better planning next time.

Cool and unique way to show the number of the house. I like it. Well done!
