Very cool!! When you do the neck area you should intergrate a ring hear the base for the leash, alowing you toget nice solid nech protection. When I first got a small Taco Bell dog I was thinking of doing somwthing like this because of the hawks that would circle when we let him outside, then we got...

I'm waiting with baited breath for the end result

I'm trying to make a pattern in AutoCad, and I'm having trouble remembering what the rule for the curve is relating to the rivet is... I think I remember it being the top of the curve shouldn't exceed one rivets diameter above the center line of the rivets... And the reason I;m making it in AutoCad ...

Ckanite

You say that like its a bad thing!!

Ckanite

Oh very nice!!

Ckanite

Beautiful!!

Ckanite

OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

The only foundry near me closed down a few years ago. That and I like trying my hand at new things.

Ckanite

So the other day I was approached by this guy. He asked if I was that metal guy, I had been doing odd jobs for teachers and students around my college all year. I said that I'm not in the machienery program. He said no the guy who makes cool things with metal. After my ego was inflated I confessed t...

The larger pauldron goes onto your sheild arm. It is meant to beef up your defense while keeping your attacking arm light and agile.

Ckanite

those are pretty nifty!!

Ckanite

If I could I would buy that in a heart beat!! that's perfect for the kinds of stuff I do!!

Ckanite

They are pretty. I really wish I had the money to afford a few...

m m m m m Google is a fine tool if used right. No offense but these were the on the first page under image search. Not all armour terms are listed in the gallery but only the most basic/common, mostly beacuse there are dozens of terms for the same item, depending on time, location, and particular st...

Hey if he does happen to make something outta that, brain tan the pelt, really comfy, just sayin'... and that's a good trait to have. If you know how to cook and eat most animals, it's much harder for you to starve.

Ckanite

Honestly it looks like a very heavy knife guard... imho

Ckanite

Umm... something like that.... but uhh.... first you need to roll 3 d20 and get a combined score of AT LEAST 63

There are several different types of both learning and intelligence. Look at Einstein, and how he learned, not to inflate your ego too much

And while you're not a master yet, you are very well on your way.

Oh my Jesus! Between the hinge and the latch, I'm sold! I might one day be ordering some off you... simply stunning!!! I wanna say I can't wait for more pics, but the results you're getting are more than well worth the wait!!! I never even thought of doing a latch more elaborate than just a decorate...

Ckanite

That hinge looks perfect! I love it! and fluting 12g would not be what I consider to be fun, kudos to you!

Ckanite

very simple and elegant! is there any other purpose for the bump detail other than decoration?

Ckanite

Fantastic!! I love the button detail!

Ckanite

That depends on if your friends are French...

Ckanite

I always just spread the fibers and put the gromet through that way, but that takes and enormous amount of patients and time...

Ckanite

Yeah, I would do just what they said. The simplest solution is usually the best.

Ckanite

That would be interesting. But how would the ability to weld allow you do to that? as opposed to forming and riveting it all cold?

Ckanite

Looking very very nice!! And I'm lovin the way you're making that into a collar!! And a broken toe or two only builds character, no matter what anyone says...

Ckanite

Oh my! that is amazing!!

Ckanite

Take off the top and paint it like a turtle shell, ditch the rest. Interesting though...

Ckanite

Absolutely beautiful!! Btw, how did you get those spines so small?
