  • This is only my second attempt at this after watching a tutorial by Thak Ironworks. If you don't know him please check out his channel for some great content / thakinc
    It didn't turn out too bad but I would definitely do a few different things next time. #GaryHuston #Blacksmithing #Farrier #ASMR #Horseshoeing #Fabrication #Ironwork #Hoofcare #welder #repairs #horse #farriery #engineering

    When you are detailing the teeth, try keeping your elbows tucked in tight to your sides. It helps keep your arms steady. Otherwise there is just so much leverage starting at your shoulders. This shortens everything up. And for even tighter control hold your breath as you align the chisel.

    I'm picturing a gate with these details at each point, capping internal bars that are suspended inside and terminate at the bottom of the gate, every other bar. Would be just like visiting Baba Yaga's house! Great for those Gothic types who like those sort of details year round and not just during the Halloween season.
    At any rate looks great, sir! Far better than anything I ever churned out at only my second go! Cheers!

    Thanks for another great video Gary. I had an injury to my right arm and can't handle large material right now but I made my first skull after watching this video. I used 1/2 square. Put a skull on one end and a church key style bottle opener on the other. Put a twist in the middle and am very happy with it. Your videos lay out the process very well and make it easy for me to follow. Thank you.

    Gary, a couple days ago I removed both ends of a RR Spike and gave this a try. I didn't anticipate struggling as much as I did and I hope it's because it was my first attempt. I managed to salvage it with some filing and use of my dremel. Back to the forge for attempt #2, hopefully less filing and dremel work will be involved. 🔥🔨

    Ahh Thak, yes hes quite the interesting fellow. Actually really talented and very experienced in a wide bit of schools of smithing all the way thru Armor making! Vast amount to learn from this guy.
    Thank you for sharing this and having us out to the smithy.

    Another great video Gary, I've forged skulls before but not close to this method. I don't have any 3/4" material but I do have quite a few R.R. Spikes, spikes are generally 5/8" square but every now and then You might run across one larger. I'm looking forward to giving this a try.
