ubisacco Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Well, since i am new i wanted to show a bit of my work. Im no Pro, just making it for fun in the scarce free time. Since you are new I only deleted your photos, and not your account. Take a moment to actually read the terms of service you legally signed that you read, and said you would follow before posting again. FYI it was very beautiful work you have there.

tonyw Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think the woodwork is just as good as the metalwork. How long do you expect the wood to stay solid? I guess in New Mexico it is pretty dry.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I was about to say the very same thing but thought it may be off topic. That is a seriously beautiful piece of joinery there. And, of course, the ironwork complements the timber artistry very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58er Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Fiddling around with dragons heads made from all thread. Thoughts? the threads give it a cool scaled look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Nice dragon's heads. I think the clean threads look too much like threads but the one you softened with a hammer look more scale like. I like them. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Great dragons! Now, how many heats did you take to upset that threaded rod in the last picture? I do that with snakes' heads to give more mass, but always have trouble keeping things straight. Maybe I try to do too much with one heat. Your upsetting is substantial and perfectly conical ... any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58er Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Thanks . I close my eyes and SWING......hehe pretty much just dumb luck. , I start with a small ball peen and work my way up to larger ones. takes 4-5 heats. I'm really not one to take tips from though..... Much smaller. And made from cable "Damascus" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
