MotoMike Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I love those sculptures JV. I wouldn't mind seeing a WIP if you have one . I have trouble thinking how I would go about manipulating that much iron that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlasterJoe Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Wow very cool. I really like the square knot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Would it work to pull the knot tight using a chain pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-v Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 where would be the fun , the challenge .??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I see ... how about hanging it hot from a roof beam and hang a weight from the other end and encouraging it along with a hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-v Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 lol !! i like difficulty ..i've got to find a heavy cooper hammer , to avoid making marks .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Mm ... a copper hammer will probably mark it the same if it is hot enough. i am planing a gate and was thinking in adding a bar with a knot in the middle, inspired by your sculptures. I can see how to do a knot at the end of a bar, how would you make a knot in the center of a one meter long bar in say 16mm diameter? One would need to heat at least one half of the bar to loop it around and make the knot ... mm ... now that I think about it, i can fold it in half by heating the center. then heat again to fold it over and finally heat from one end to the knot to thread it in the loop. Mm ... I like it ... still the chain block is my fall back plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc1 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Will do,. As far as no marks, try a hardwood mallet. A nice chunk of Ironbark ... mm ... you are in France ... really old oak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-v Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 merci !! i want to trie a monkey fist during 2018 , i think it's going to make me sweat !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 A monkey fist??? Wow you like challenges - As one who has tied many many monkeys fists - the retightening process in steel will be a major chore. I don't think Ive ever seen a steel monkey fist knot. Good luck Sir.!!! Take pictures Please. I'm sure it can be done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceye Blue Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I find your Knot sculptures very relaxing in a simple way . They are very good and would certainly earn room space . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
