Wow, you are a true metalsmith! Killer work!:headbang:
:iconcreativemetalworks:
So I am curious, How do you start a project like this? Do you just start with a big chunk of mild steel and begin grinding and forming? Or is it more one piece at a time?
:iconjoevanderloo:
yeah i start with forming the eye sockets using 1/4 " round bar,i then attach the 2 pieces in the middle using a small piece of 1/8" plate so that it resembles a pair of glasses and taking care to make sure everything is as symmetrical as possible. After that i just start building up the shape of the cheekbones,eyebrowes etc using 1/8 " plate welding everthing together and then grinding all the welds off.
