Thanks guys! I quickly figured out I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but oh man, it's sooooo much fun!!!
But seriously, I figured I'd start with the front end and am sort of happy with it, but mainly, excited to actually see metal being formed finally. I think as described somewhere on here, most of what I did today was fabrication instead of forming so I need to hone my skills.
My planishing hammer showed to today too so I was able to mess around with that. Most of the told I have purchased are from Eastwood or Northern Tool, and yes, I know they're not the best but being an amateur on this, I wanted to see how I like this and when I get competent in forming, I'll sell the cutest stuff and get better. But for now, I'm pretty happy with what I have although not happy with my work.
Yes, describe that exercise for me! I need it!! I definitely will be taking a class/training in January. December will be a practice month so I'll have plenty of questions for the teacher for sure.
Pics tomorrow with more progress.
