arm ring and tiny shield

a tiny shield of nickel silver, cut with a jewelers saw. Yes I'm flexing here... it shows how the ring accomodates my arm even during heavy work.

sketches of shvank design you see in pics with my anvil, decided to omit the "little side" for surprise when showing, the blade will be hidden and people won't know what they're in for 'til it's too late.

This design will incorporate the taxidermy eyes, the long thin rusty blade on my anvil will likely be used, it won't be rusty for long... Other knife with eyes sketches, doule click for close up.

One of my very first metal projects, it has handles with leather on the back, the coat of arms is something my Grandfather brought back from europe, Authentic? I don't know but grampa likes it so that's good enough. Engraved and painted design.
These are tools that I made myself, obviously I have much more that I did not make, but handmade tools have a character all their own.

Barb hangs out near where the grinding goes on, I put a backing behind her so she can show off a little more, the breasts and crotch "v" are of antique barbed wire, thw rest is the usual stuff, her nipples are red treble hooks and her "peach fuzz" is this wire from some kind of electron cutting machine at the college. I love her!

Oak leaf I made while emloyed at JNL wrought Iron. They couldn't figure out what to do with this test piece so I got to keep it. laser cut leaf, the vein and depth of the form were hammered in by me.

barb n friends

I've got barb on the floor where she belongs... Knifes I'm working on plus my anvil. left to right Fillet-type knife which will have a fancy handle from my sketches attached, Shvank 1 with balls guard, shvank 2, small hunting knife. the shvank 1 has flaws from grinding which I must correct, shvank 2 is nearly done.
