ausfire Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 OK, forged or welded, whatever. I have tried forging frogs a couple of times with limited success. This one is an attempt at a green tree frog (big head, slender body) and the starting stock was an old railway fish plate bolt about 100mm long. The skirt on the head of the bolt is peened back and flattened, and the threaded section split to forge the back legs. Had to weld a bit of light rebar on for the stumpy front legs. This is a first try using the bolt; I can see where it needs improvement and I think I can do better next time. Anyone else given it a go?

Tonybabilu Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 By the way, newbie here as well. A photographer by profession, I usually travel around, camera in the trunk and my dog at the backseat, secured in his crate. I’ve been going around the various states looking to take the best scenic photographs ever. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
