58er Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Finally added heater to the shop. should have done this when I first built it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Didn't see a heater at first, I got distracted by the awesome flowers and lion. Would love to know more on the lion. Good going on the heater. I'd love to convert to that type. My blown heater takes a while to heat up my smaller shop then if I open the door it pretty much has to start over.

swedefiddle Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Good Morning 58, I put that kind of Heater is our Shop a few years ago. The absolute BEST decision!! Enjoy the warmth, even if the shop door is open. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It's nice to be warm when the cold wind blows. Looks like a Medici lion to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswulf Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Awesome detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Oh MY! That's an awesome sculpture. How much time do you have in it? And may we have some of the build details, is there an internal armature. Jigs used? Finish, etc.? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 That is absolutely amazing. Such detail and very life like. Any idea about how much it weighs?

George N. M. Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 VERY cool. Is it for a private or public installation? Commission or just from your own desire? Is it intended for inside or outside display? If outside what finish do you use? "By hammer and hand all arts do stand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58er Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 It’s for a Christian sculpture walk at our shop. I use penetrol for outside work Built new machine for upcoming work to twist metal. possibly overbuilt but better safe than sorry. this video was 1 1/2 solid. But confident it would go bigger. I call it the twist o matic. IMG_9224.mov Paleyesque twists from twist o matic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I love the way the center of the twist got hotter. Ditto Anvil's opinion. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58er Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Quick tour of the hot work part of shop. new additions are the induction forge , little Chinese hammer and a home made electro-pneumatic hammer I call the krause-0-matiC. works in the same manner as a Nazel. 35 pound ram weigh. Great little hammer. IMG_0389.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
