lol hows your back after all that?

would have been easier on your back and your arm if you had your anvil higher

looks really good. where did you et the dimensions for your flats from? im interested!!!!

i have a few nice tall stumps here might go buy a cheap grinding disc and make some food bowls....

looking forward to seeing it at naama!

oh btw if you heat up the spot you want to put a rivet in and the punch the hole instead of drilling it the metal around the lip is a little thicker and a tad stronger if you hammer the rivet from both sides

Nah backs all good haha.

Umm the dimensions, we made it out of cardboard first to try and get the shape right and it worked really well with the bending of the metal there was just a little point that we just grinded off and was all good.

should have it all finshed by NAAMA with chain as well just have to geta mold made and some brass to do the eyebrows and the surpent bit

Looking good Sage, can't wait to wail on it with my seax! Wink
