    What is your purpose for upsetting the rods is it just to make them softer or is there another purpose? I was interested and directed to this technique for making an electromagnet stronger. Perhaps there is a better way to identify soft metal idk I'm green to metal works

    @Joe___R Před měsícem

    It would work out a bit easier if you used negative molds for the first two forms before transitioning to the positive mold. If you were making them regularly, I would even make a few top and bottom dies so you could hammer or press them into shape even faster.

    It was still quite common to rent coffins back when that one was made, so it may actually be a used coffin. It is still common for caskets to be rented for funerals today if the person is going to be cremated.

    Excellent execution as usual! The tighter fitting mask would be hellish at first, but I think a person would get used to it, like a balaclava, but having this loose fitting thing rattling around locked on your head would drive a person more insane. The looseness giving half a sense it could be removed, the constant knocking about if you moved, treating your skull like a bell clapper… this may be the more fiendish version.
