Momatt Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I made this tonight from some roughly 3/4 inch round bar. Started by forging round bar into 3/8 by 1 inch bar stock then hacksawing the top inch into thirds. The center is the head and the other two become the arms. The center or head is forged down jelly roll style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott NC Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I dont care to post twice but a thought occured to me (usually a red flag). You picked a fine subject for your piece in these troublesome times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momatt Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Thank you for the encouraging comments. This type of figure is interesting, you have to find the right balance of detail. It can go from neat with suggested shape to looking very crude as too much detail is added. It was surprisingly emotional to see the figure emerge from beneath the hammer.
