Going to reserve this space for posting pictures of random stuff at various stages of completion.

 

Commissions:

I'm more-or-less seeing what people would be interested in at this time. PM me & I'll see if it's something I can do in a reasonable amount of time. You'd have to be fairly specific, because I can do a variety of smaller decorative pieces in under 30 minutes, compared to several hours for larger functional pieces. I suppose I'd be looking at something like 200 million per hour, plus material (rarely applicable) and shipping for metalwork.

 

Note, to cut back on the clutter, I condensed everything to the post below. Now everything is categorized under headings (currently "IRON & STEEL", "EQUIPMENT", "TEXTILES", and "CERAMICS"), then sorted by reverse chronological order (newest to oldest).

 

Obligatory cyclical reference back to the creative contraptions lounge here.

After a few month of experimenting, I figured out how to punch the rivet hole in a mail link without tearing it out. I have an idea for a couple of tools I'll make to facilitate faster, more consistent results in the process.

Another froe with a froe club. Made this one a little larger for splitting some thicker logs. I was looking for a piece bodark (bois d'arc) to make some bow staves. The best thing I've come across is red oak, so I'll try to make due.

Bodkin point arrow heads. Made these for an old timer I know. He has been making bows by hand for about 60 years and is going to start teaching me.

Steel striker for flint. Think I'm going to package these in a tinder box with a flint, some fat wood, and char cloth for Christmas presents this year.

square nails.

Finally quit putting it off--made my tool for producing mail links so I can make a hauberk. Looking for an arbor press (would prefer a fly press, but they cost too much) to punch some solid rings. I want to do an eight-in-two pattern with the eight solid rings being put through the two open rings, then riveted. Also looking for a piece of flat junk steel that I can do the riveting on; I don't want to mar the face of my anvil.

Kitsune masks.

Step by step is here. I was very disappointed with how the enamel glaze performed. I junked the mold--going to start over from scratch, applying what I learned from the process.

Wpe I think is normally 150m/1k or 10$.

Probably good to determine what you feel would make it worth it for you (as a minimum, then work up). Your art is pretty unique to the others too. :3

That's just what I would do and have seen suggested by others over similar things anyway. >.<

Thanks. Most people IRL just yawn, but I enjoy it.

When I get my foundry furnace put together, I'm going to start producing my own crucible steel. I wouldn't sell anything that doesn't meet the basic ABS standards that I showed you before.

 

Croix recercelée reminded me of royal guards :3 so cool! :o :lv:

 

I was originally going for a croix fleury, but the material was too thin to split again. It narrowly avoided the scrap bin.

Thanks, that seems reasonable for a benchmark.

I have some being utilized in that capacity. It's a very simple, but extremely versatile piece of hardware; I have them all over the house.

Off topic, sort of....

Think its time to cut my hair again. I usually do so every two to three years and send it to Locks of Love. Now, its my understanding that you can request the donation be reserved for a specific individual. If you know anyone that could use a few 12-14" sandy blond pony tails, you can PM me to swap information.

 

9/1/2015 Edit:

Started looking at Wigs For Kids. If anyone is interested, they don't seem to have as many overhead expenses as Locks of Love. This keeps the costs lower for those they're benefiting.

 

9/8/2015 Edit:

Just sent it in today. I had no inquiries from the community, but I guess that's good.

Update at the top. Didn't realize how long I've neglected this thread. I typically don't think to take pictures of things I make before I get rid of them.
