Thanks for another great video Gary. I had an injury to my right arm and can't handle large material right now but I made my first skull after watching this video. I used 1/2 square. Put a skull on one end and a church key style bottle opener on the other. Put a twist in the middle and am very happy with it. Your videos lay out the process very well and make it easy for me to follow. Thank you.

Ack ack ack.. Aaack Ack..... "Mars Attacks!" reference for the uncultured or non movie nerds😂😂 Excellent forging, I'll have to check out the original.

Hey! Thanks for the mention Gary!

No worries, you deserve it as you have some awesome content 👍

When you are detailing the teeth, try keeping your elbows tucked in tight to your sides. It helps keep your arms steady. Otherwise there is just so much leverage starting at your shoulders. This shortens everything up. And for even tighter control hold your breath as you align the chisel.

As soon as you folded it back to make the back of the skull I thought of Thak. Nice work.

Awesome job, dude! Greetings from a brazillian blacksmith

I'm picturing a gate with these details at each point, capping internal bars that are suspended inside and terminate at the bottom of the gate, every other bar. Would be just like visiting Baba Yaga's house! Great for those Gothic types who like those sort of details year round and not just during the Halloween season. At any rate looks great, sir! Far better than anything I ever churned out at only my second go! Cheers!

Looks like an Annunaki Skull - haha ! Interesting video , thanks

just awesome! when you resculpted the nose from the round hole. once that nose sharpened up...blam! perfect skull! super skillful love it

I love it the way it is! Really nice proportions. Gave me an idea for something I want to try. Thanks for sharing!

Great fun Gary. Always loved your videos.

Looks good to me. Thanks for showing them to us. Much appreciated....

Gary, a couple days ago I removed both ends of a RR Spike and gave this a try. I didn't anticipate struggling as much as I did and I hope it's because it was my first attempt. I managed to salvage it with some filing and use of my dremel. Back to the forge for attempt #2, hopefully less filing and dremel work will be involved. 🔥🔨

Hi Gary! Another great video... I use leather gardening gloves when sculpting steel town and country best ones.. a good grip and feel

For my vew i tho that it came out explendid... im a professional welder AND a radiologist aswell, and thats' spot on.(keep up the good work mate) LOVE your videos

Love it

Good stuff

Well outstanding job for sure. Now make 99 more lol ( silly reference to make 100 leaves or 100 S hooks) but it did turn out quite well. Ahh Thak, yes hes quite the interesting fellow. Actually really talented and very experienced in a wide bit of schools of smithing all the way thru Armor making! Vast amount to learn from this guy. Thank you for sharing this and having us out to the smithy. 🙏 be blessed now Crawford out 🧙‍♂️

Very nice

Great as always! I've noticed that small crosspein hammer you were using is it one you have made from a ballpein hammer? I would love to see a video of you making one. Keep up the good work!!!

No, it’s just shop bought. I can’t see the point in making hammers when they are readily available and cheap off the shelf!

Another great video Gary, I've forged skulls before but not close to this method. I don't have any 3/4" material but I do have quite a few R.R. Spikes, spikes are generally 5/8" square but every now and then You might run across one larger. I'm looking forward to giving this a try. Mike. 🔥🔨

Good vid mate

Very nice skull! I will try and make one some day. maybe with a step down, forming a chin.

Super...

Good job. I haven't been happy with any of the videos I've seen till now. I want to do some for pommels on smaller knives. Looks like I got some paying to do. Thanks

Neanderthal skulls have a distinct brow. Those of us who preserve the Neanderthal DNA have brow ridges too.

That would make a great pommel for a pirate cutlass...

I'd say it turned out great! Looks a lot like the skeletons from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
