I'm thinking poster material there, be a great flag over a booth at a conference. Frosty The Lucky. Thanks Frosty, I'll suggest it to the smith who came up with it. CNC Plasma cut templates that are shaped hot on hollowed wooden blocks. Anna demonstrated these at Roaring Camp near Santa Cruz last August. Heating the sheet metal in a coal fire. It was a very accessible project for kids and newbies. She had a whole stack of dragon blanks and other animals. The blocks had round and elongated hollows to shape the body and the wing ribs, and went into the slack tub after each heat. The blocks are expendable over a day of making these. Great fun! I'm trying to get her to design a Balrog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, those are pretty cool, I see various plasma cut patterns for sale online occasionally but I’ve never ordered one to try them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 TW, that can happen when you have a fertile imagination... Pretty easy to cut wings out of sheetmetal with a beverly shear and then rivet them to a forged body for a dragon. Fold forming can help get the wings more "bat like". I did small one for my daughter once using an old electric fence post, 3/8" dia mild steel with a triangular sheetmetal vane for driving into the ground.

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If I tried that I’d probably end up molting the metal… That sounds pretty cool Thomas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluerooster Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I guess the first one would pass for a dragon, The next is more like a cat, And who knows what the third one is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 A good looking forge and fire dragon. Is the pan/table around the firepot lined with clay to prevent the pan from cracking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetreeforge Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 It has a 1937 ford v8 flywheel in the firepot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Well that works. There is a forge where we hold club meetings that is made from an old ford tractor differential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
