Default Re: Hammer freehand job

Thank you all!
I don't know what the definition for a sledgehammer is Brandvik but 3kg and above pop up in my mind. Good idea though, I have a few of those!
Mark, thanks a lot. Second guessing doesn't do much good for the piece but it can help the next one. But you are right to much whatif's don't help anyone.
The background removal I do with a flexishaft and my wrist stil hurts! To much pulling on the shaft. Do you have an airturbine Jeff?

Something I have never been able to do freehand is get a monogram centered perfectly in the oval
You are absolutely right Chris, I was a bit sloppy on that part
First thought I would do some leaves on the right side of the S but thought it would look akward. Yea, like this doesn't The pits don't really help either.
They made the cuts full of surprises and little puffs of rust would apear as a warning.
You are right about the filling of the space Tom. Thanks I couldn't put my finger on why it looked not correct. Any chance of getting it right with some added curly bits?

Thanks you all! This is really an online school with the best of tutors.
Daniel
