Made these today cross didnt turn out the way I wanted but for the first one I can deal with it Wifey says I"m to hard on myself . I need to do better at sawing the kerfs hard to keep strait .

Look pretty good, Longhunter. You'll find that the wife will never find anything wrong with your work. I have several embarrassing pieces hanging on the wall, because they were some of my first pieces. She won't take them down! So everyday I'm reminded of my progress.

Keep on forgin'

Nice work. That cross turned out real nice.:cool: Hey Keykeeper, My mom passed away this year and I finally got to throw away all of that embarrassing art work, sculpture, etc. that I made in my early years. It was sure fun to finally see it get out of sight.:D

Both look real good. The cross turned out good, I'd just heat it up and tap the top to the right a little bit. Otherwise, it looks real good. Great job.

Thanks for the kind words guys i have a ways to go but I think I can do this

turned out really nice! I have a ways to go as well, and that is much better than anything im able to do... Im having big issues with forge welding, but ill figure it out. thanks for sharing your pics :)

did you make the hoof pick out of a horse shoe? it looks great, and the cross it amazing,

Highlander I havn't tried forge welding yet I have seen it done several times it looks easy when someone else does it> that means I'll mess it up. Canuk the hoof pick is made from a horse shoe glad you like it and the cross . I think the wife has ideas of making Christmas presents for some of her horse riding friends .

Looks real good to me! Keep it up!
