Shane Stegmeier Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) I have been trying to forge a decent horse head, and came up with these two different styles, based on Hugh MacDonald's flat horse head, and part of an article from Anvil Magazine, on Brian Brazeal's horse heads. Brian does an awesome horse head, 2"square stock, an 8# hammer and 20 minutes, he squirts the material fast enough it is really hard to follow just what he did ;-) I have seen the demo probably 3 or 4 times, and still don't know how he does it exactly. But I hear that he is selling a DVD of the process... Brian is an awesome smith. Here are what I have been experimenting with;-) the wider ones are 3/16 x 1 1/2, and the thicker one that looks like the Bronco's logo is 1/2 x3/4 Edited February 7, 2009 by Fionnbharr (finn:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Those are pretty darned nice though I like the dogs better. I've only done horse heads a couple times and they didn't turn out as nice. Thanks again, Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaming S Forge Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Those are certainly nice looking horse heads. Keep them coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
