If you don't mind me asking, I would love to hear what tools and techniques you use to make it take such a short amount of time and be so easy.Jiri Lucius. wrote:I gues around 13 - 14 min, maybe less. Depends on the mood and music.

The way I'd do it is to use a ball peen hammer or domed punch and drive the point to the full depth/height it's supposed to have. Then support it over something which doesn't fill the point and collapse the sides with a raising hammer or gently rounded hammer. It's pretty easy to steer the location of the point, not much more difficult than peening a rivet.Signo wrote:I think he first dish the piece over a stump then raise it over a pointed stake, the progress pictures of the gauntlet show the same process.
Jiri, what's your method?
Great looking work by the way!

Well after you file the stuff out, just paint it with some paint for small models that dries wery fast and run it over with the polishing wheel again. The axcess paint will be taken away and the heat just burns the black color into the steel.Jon Terris wrote:Nice work Jiri, thank you for sharing! Thanks to these pictures I have been able to improve my work many times over!
Can I ask what you have used to highlight the file-work? The black in the lines really makes them stand out!

Guys, seriously... the pair of gauntlets Jiri made for me a while back are amongst my most favorite, prized physical possessions.
You think they LOOK good... they are MIND-BOGGLING when worn. I'd guess Rod would confirm this.
Hands-down (pun intended), one of the best selfish purchases I've ever made.
Looking to be another beautiful pair, Jiri! Thanks for sharing!

I like looking at Jiri's work but I feel like a retard when I do.
Here is a metaphor. You got Jiri's work and my work. Sure, they are both armor and you can try both on, but you only want your friends to see you in one of them.

First:
Great work...
Then: Jiri, can you tell me, how do you make those nice, grooved lines inside the flutes; do you use a chisel, do you carve them?
How?? please tell me...

I use a small file to do the lines. It has a shape like this () of course with sharp edges on both sides. I can make a picture of it if you want.Duco de Klonia wrote:First:
