January 17, 200818 yr Here is alittle forged whale, made from (i think) wrought iron, i had folded and forge welded a rod about 1/2 as thick round as a pencil until i ended up with this little billet and thought "wow that looks like a whale" so i chiseled in the fins and tail, and punched the eyes. I hope you like him, one of my very first successful peices of art.

January 17, 200818 yr "Aye, aye! and I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the horn, and round the norway maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out. What say ye, men, will ye splice hands on it, now? I think ye do look brave." Moby Dick
January 17, 200818 yr Cute little whale, Sam! It seems you are turning into a bit of a wildlife artist...
