Really impressive! Ever tried to make the man awaken? All of them are sleeping or dead (they remind me the wax masks made when pictures were not an option). Beautiful works

@marcheseDS

the face is a part of a sculpture of a sleeping woman.... these are practice pieces

How long did it take?

@sk0llskilz

this one took about an hour an a half, the learning curve was much longer

[nyblacksmith]

what ga. metal i used 20 ga. cold rold, is that heavy enough? i got real close on first attempt gonna do another, what pressures did you use on oxy ? how does it take you to do a sculpture, i watched your video probably 25 times before i tried. i built a jig to hold metal, i couldnt tell but assumed that is what you did. you are an awsome sculpter, thanks

@nyblacksmith Yep but thats such a thin sheet of metal that the process more chasing then forging.
