January 13, 200818 yr Here is a "desk crow" i made for my sister for Christmas, finally got her to take some pictures:D. Forged from 1/2 inch thick 1 1/2 inch wide, the legs were forged from 1/2 inch round, and the claws/feet were forged seperately from 1/4 round, and all mig welded together. Used my treadle and a little chisel i made from H13 (great stuff) to chisel in all the details, all done while hot. She stands about 4 or 5 inches tall, and is about 8 or 9 inches long. My sister calls it a "desk crow" because she sits her on her computer desk:D.
January 13, 200818 yr reminds me of something...Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
January 13, 200818 yr Love it! Does the tail fan out or is it more of a silouette? Its a bit hard to tell from the photo.
January 13, 200818 yr Sam, that is a nice idea, and a nice bird. If anybody was going to give me a bird , I would want that one. Besides, it would be "cheep" to feed. Thanks for the views! Be safe! Old Rusty Ted
January 13, 200818 yr Whoa, Lookout, Sam's doing art-smithing..... and I thought you just did blades. Great work, Sam.:D
January 14, 200818 yr Author Thanks alot guys, and Colleen;)! Aaron, I don't the artistic stuff as much as i should:(. John feel free too.
January 15, 200818 yr Author Thanks Andre! It sure makes tooling like chiseling and stuff VERY VERY accurate and easy. Goes much quicker too without loss of quality, IMO a sign of a good tool.
January 16, 200818 yr Nice crow Sam. I'll bet they'd market nicely and there are plenty of variations. Say a jewelry holder. You know crows and shiney stuff. Frosty
January 16, 200818 yr Why did I immediately picture this at 400 yards through the scope of my 'chuck rifle?!?!? PLINK! Never mind me Sam... VERY NICE!!!:DDan
