coldironkilz Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Das, the horseshoe nails do lend themselves well however until the figures are "animated" they are nothing more than stick figures . ausfire, I can accept no praise for the cleverness of the use of horseshoe nails, that belongs to someone else. I gas weld them to one another. Animating them is the fun part. Tubalcain2 hahaha, I have considered clothing some of them, but................

CTBlades Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Wow wow wow very cool stuff, awesome work....small work amazes me I think even more than large pieces. At least for me keeping it so clean is very difficult. Talented for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigb Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Those are really cool, I have a bunch of concrete nails, wonder how they'd work? I think I'd name the last one with the Sax "Coaltrane" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do, do you use the torch to heat and bend them too? I got a nice little Smith for small indoor work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldironkilz Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 bigb I use the welding tip then lock the hand piece down in the vise, using two pair of needle nose pliers, hold heat bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
