are those file parts with welded globs and a copper hoop? BTW, I went to the website link you provided and now I am blind. My eyes stopped working as the page loaded. What voodoo is on that page?  Looks like you have competition for the copper 'C' necklaces. |

Sorry to extend you optical nerves Scott.
I see why you asked if those are files.They are some weird laminated stainless steel screens(6) laminated together to about 3/32 inch thick.They started out 1"x 6" until the stainless rod cooked the edge.Gravity pulls the warts down like icecicles.The speed,feed and placement of the rod dictates the amount of warts,basically i clamped them in a catilevered position and went around the perimeter melting and feeding as i went.They would not sell them under my title v... warts cause they are chickens:>Then i tin/silver soldered hammered 10 gauge copper wire to make the loop for the chain.
The copper c's are hammered out of 3/16 inch copper wire annealed a few times.Hammering more on one side causes the thing to 'bow' .And the bow shape probably caught their eyes because of the name of their shop.They may have seen a picture of me and had to buy my stuff-hahaha.

no, I was just looking for a new not so smily thingy! Big eyes and a pouty straight lipped look. Here - screw the emoticon thingy. This shows my dismay at having to "get over it".  [modified to add] lol! |

I dunno but I think the mesh things upper right would make excellent knife handles.

I could not find a price for the first butt, top left. I have something else to say but I do not want the slap that I already deserve. I had an EKG yesterday and luckily the thing is working real good and strong. There are a lot of old married guys on here James so you may get sued or slewed or slaughtered. Anyway, keep up the good work and the fine posts. I'll keep my eye out for ya.
Jim
Oh yea, very creative stuff you are making there. I guess you must be one of those artist people.

cool metal work there jamesp. Even cooler that someone is showing your work off. Thats got to be a good feeling.
You have the artist eye. It all makes sense now. You have those beautiful water plants, the coral which imo is art, bamboo, metalworking art, your protography shots. Very cool.
It all rolls into one.
Is that you with the coyote? Dude your a stud. All those years doing physical work kept you in shape.
