divermike Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I love it when guys say, well I just made these... it would take me days to do those, and never that good!! At least not yet! really nice stuff, wish I could get in on that iron in the hat, I'd buy a lot of tickets to get those babies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Nice work, was it done on a power hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old South Creations Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Nice work. I'm jealous...I've been away from my forge since Christmas...I gotta get back at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar C Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 bentiron...yes almost everything was done under the powerhammer..there were a bunch of 1" square pieces about 12" long in the drop bin(give or take an inch or two)..so i heated them up & started munchin'.

Bentiron1946 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Very nice control of the hammer. Nice and uniform.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendik Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 They really show that you know how to handle a power hammer! Personally I am far from the type of control displayed here. Truly great work! Excellent finish as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) The texture is killer and the transitions are amazing, that is some real nice fuller work. I guess you used maybe some ball dies and fullers? I just need to get my dies for my magician and then I would be happy to produce something half as nice. For the finish what did you do? Did you sand then reheat and apply finish? Coal Forge? Edited February 23, 2009 by Jeremiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar C Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 jeremiah..most every thing was done under the power hammer(BB) with various dies..as for the finish 80 grit and a lot of elbowgrease and wax..gas forge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
