I still have more work to do, but I am liking the way it is looking.

I like it!! Good job, very original.

[QuietDan]

That's pretty cool!

 

Are you going to take more pictures like this one as you work it?

 

I think I could take a project this far, I think the penny's use is cool, but I've always been leery about the rest of the work.

Looks good UJ  :up:

[QuietDan]

Awesome!

 

It looks like the final product!

 

Very rugged and . . . manly . . . and yet elegant in its simplicity.

 

Are you going to work it more?

 

They say a work of art is never completed, merely abandoned.

 

Are you going to make more?

I am going to sharpen the edge but leave the file/ forge marks. I have started a couple more similar to this one. I am extremley satisfied with the way this one has turned out.

That really looks nice.  It's something you can be proud about.  I like the artistry in the design, especially since I couldn't artist anything.  I'm still drawing the same monster coming up out of the toilet I've drawn since I was 5.  Good work!

Awesome. I love it. I have several file that belonged to my Grand Paw, almost smooth from use. Wasn't sure what to do with them put knew I would not get rid of them. You have inspired Sir.
