Awesome!! I live in an apartment so I have no access to a forge to learn metal work but this gives me a awesome idea to sculpt some pins. Amazing as always. You are a true master.
I have only ever made clay models of cars and things so watching you making things with copper plates is fascinating.really enjoy watching your videos ,true craftsmanship is so hard to find .so thank you for sharing .
I to like to brainstorm other art form and end up with a fresh version of the way I want mine, Always fun to look back of how I got to letter Z. Thanks for teaching Sir
You drilled out that pitch, but I saw a repousse pro in another vid just heating the outside with his torch a bit to get the same result: softening the pitch. Just my bit. Nice raven skulls man!
@@ThakIronworks The jeweller's recipe for pitch is 1 lb pitch, 3 teaspoonfuls of tallow and half a cup of plaster of Paris. These are of course metric units!! Adjust the tallow / POP ratio depending on if you are working in hot or cold weather. I have used printer’s paste-up-wax as a substitute for the tallow; possibly easier to obtain.
Those look pretty awesome. I collected a bunch of pine pitch over the summer to use for cutlers resin, I think I'll have to separate some out for this kind of work. Of course I have to make all this cool punches first ;) Thanks for sharing.
They are coming along very nice I don't know if I missed it in the beginning but did you say how thick the middle is and if not what did you start with
The brass sheet is 18 gauge, that's usually what I do this kind of work with. You could google what that gauge thickness represents in your preferred measurement standard is.
So happy I found you. I didn't know what this was called, but knew it was something I wanted to do. Could you use any non -brittle clay in place of the pitch? As soon as I saw your stuff I knew you were responsible for the metal bits on Diana Bastet's costumes.
Very impressive. I didn't really know this sort of art existed, though I guess I should have. I noticed in the deep recesses the brass had split. Is this normal, or is there a repair process?

impressive working skills!
5:55 Made a nest for his raven (skull) haha. Beautiful stuff!
Awesome work, Thak :D
A nice way to start my day
Awesome work Thak!
I remember doing stuff like this in school,with foil and little metal spoon like tools.
From a guy that processes real skulls... Great job, that really looks amazing, congrats!
Awesome work!
Thank you
Just subscribed to the channel, love the Danzig shirt💀
You're badass man
Pretty awesome stuff. Love watching the vids. Nice shirt collection :D you rock thak!
So fncking cool!

Will definitely be experimenting with different techniques as I use the pitch more often.

Send us some pictures over on Facebook or Instagram if and when you do some work, we want to see it.
@@ThakIronworks Will do!
Quench popped magical colours on that. Working with brass easy in compare to steel sheet.?
Yes much easier.
Fantastic work! You are an inspiration to ogres everywhere, lol. Just so we're clear, I am one of the ogres who luv your work.
Outstanding work. Does anyone know the gauge of the brass sheet.
18 gauge
Интересная техника...👍

Thank you very much for your reply
What is that pad thing you were dishing it out on that you had on the stump?
Its a leather bag filled with lead shot. You can also fill it with sand but lead is just better.
@@ThakIronworks oh ok thanks for replying so quickly
Did you apply a patina or clear coat to the skull you did in anticipation of the demo, or is that shine just the natural aging of the worked brass?
No patina yet, just how it came out during process. Note the difference between two pieces, I will do actual patina next video.

clay or plasticene can work....but not nearly as well as pitch
Very impressive. I didn't really know this sort of art existed, though I guess I should have. I noticed in the deep recesses the brass had split. Is this normal, or is there a repair process?
It can happen yes but with these skulls it actually adds to the effect.
Can i use clay instead of pitch?
Possibly....might not be as stiff a backing....I actually intend to try it for a future video
Where did you get your pitch from? Is there a decent supplier in Canada?
California
do you do a calendar of you in your forge? if not you should, be a fair few blacksmith's wives would have you over the coals :)
Not the first time that has been suggested haha
