Frosty Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 You're getting pretty good at that it looks really nice. I'd reverse direction incising the beard and use a sharper chisel. Having the cuts spread as they go down gives the beard a bushier look. You get a good twirl on the mustaches too, but I think the hair texturing should follow the stache. Of course that's just my opinion, I'm full of them you know. Well done, Very. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beammeupscotty Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is that forged from a RR spike? The base looks like it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58er Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks guys. I think he's upset because I beat on him for an hour or so Kim Thomas has a great video on making these on you tube that's where I learned the nose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donal Harris Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Where can I see how the holder is made for these? They are angle iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazer Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Are you talking about the holder that you put in the vise while making them? I believe John from Black Bear Forge has a video on making them IIRC.. Maybe it was Mark A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 He's asking about the jig used to hold spikes to incise details like nose, eyes, beard, etc. You CAN make the chisel jig thingy from angle iron but it REALLY needs a stop so you don't drive it down through the vise jaws when you hammer. I don't know where mine is, I welded up slips for the vise with the shelf on one half. Not great but it worked. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
