I Forge Iron

Crucifix


Recommended Posts

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.

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.
