Thanks,man.It was tough,the head needed a forge-weld,and the weather was really cold,hard to weld mild.All too often,instead of making what i want,end up making what i can.

Of course,but the simple quality of material and craftsmanship is very important.A well executed joinery can even be it's own aesthetic,as well as being a great joy to the craftsman.

Oh, this looks much better. Very chilling and scary! You're getting better with the camera.

Thank you again for your kind words.Turns out that i'm even dumber than i thought-there was never anything wrong with the photos i was stealing from my friend's photobucket account,but i was transmuting them all wrong,figured it out yesterday...

Very pleased to have you write that.It was fun to do-till i was faced,again(and again),with my ineptitude in the face of a really cool design...Is it even freaking possible,without the formal training,to be ever satisfied with your forgework?

not even if you have formal training will you ever be completly satisfied with a piece.... that's just a part of being a true artist....sometimes you just have to say, 'ok, enough already' and move onto your next piece.... keep up the great work!

Thanks much,and couldn't agree more.It's not mine,but the client's job to be satisfied with the finished product.What truly belongs to the craftsman is the process.I often catch shit for supposedly being too critical of my work,little do they realize how deadening the self-satisfied stagnation is in a creative process.Sincerely,Jake.P.S.Likewise,best of luck to you,look forward to seeing more of your amazing work.
