Made a celestial bronze blade yet? :}

My attempts at making bronze/melting brass have proved. . . unfruitful. All I'm left with is a uselessly crumbly clump of metal, a fraction of the material put in, or a lump of dross (leftover gunk) that I don't know how appeared because I thought I did it right. I'm still trying to figure it out.

The roses are sooooo preeeeeeetttyyyyyyyy. . . . . . . . . And I can't really tell one's better than the other, except Rose #2 has more petals - I think? How long did they take to make?

The Skarzs · October 27, 2015, 06:44:04 PM

Rose #2 doesn't have more petals, just more detail. I spent some time thinning the petals and crinkling them to give them a more natural look. And the second one took somewhere between one and two hours.

And now the moment you all probably haven't been waiting for: the photo dump of three projects I'm pretty happy with. So. . . seven photos in all. I think I'll put them in a spoiler.

Photo Dump

Ram's head! Been meaning to make one of these for a long time.

For a first try I don't think he turned out too bad. He's made out of 1/2" square stock.

Here's a set of eating utensils. Quite nice, if I may say so myself.

Made out of 3/8" rebar.

I like the texture it can give on the handle.

And finally:

The legend is here. . .

BEHOLD. . .

The mighty Splork!

All hail!

Once again, I can try to answer any questions you have.

What's the L part in splork?

The Skarzs · October 28, 2015, 12:23:49 AM

Spatula.

Faiyloe · October 28, 2015, 02:14:22 AM

Short for SpatuLork!

SpLork! SpLork! SpLork! SpLork!

all hail.

The Skarzs · October 28, 2015, 04:45:16 AM

So. . . no one is going to say anything about the other two projects? Okee. . .

If you don't try to break down a door with the ram head and shout Grond I will be disappointed in you.

The Skarzs · October 28, 2015, 04:59:48 AM

-_-

Vilu Daskar · October 28, 2015, 08:44:04 PM

Do you eat with the silverware you made?

Faiyloe · October 28, 2015, 09:12:24 PM

The silverware is very nice too.

The Skarzs · October 28, 2015, 09:31:02 PM

Why thank you.

@Vilu: I have eaten with them, yes.

Søren · October 30, 2015, 05:15:08 AM

You're silverware looked like a snake at first glance. It's good though, looks very professional.

Wow, awesome! The fork looks lethal.
