In this video, I forge an elephant head as part of my continuing series of chess pieces for the 2020 chess set challenge. I begin with 1.5" x1.5" mild steel with is a big chunk. The large size makes it easier to create detail but is unwieldy as it is a large mass to move around. This turns out to be a very challenging process for my first attempt.

Watching that take shape was pretty impressive. I like how you showed the whole process from the beginning clay design and how you work through issues, that helps a lot. Still working on my bulldog pawn piece, trying to sort out the body, hopefully i'll have time to work on it this weekend. Thanks for the great video.👍
It is hard to believe that this is possible, made in iron! congratulations is fantastic, you are an artist
Awesome work. I have just started binge watching your channel. Not sure why the algorithm didn't recommended your channel before today.
That tool is called a “bridge” and you used it to perfection.
Hey I can relate. I don't know what I'm doing,but I'm having fun.your work is outstanding sir!
That is one big lump of steel, I am still working on getting a rams head done write,watching you doing a elephant is amazing .
Awesome t shirt and awesome work. Really like the clay demo too.
WOW that's all I can say. Very inspiring how you discuss the they up and go into method of operation. Also keeping it real and saying your not sure if you're process is a good touch. Definitely not a beginner type project from my perspective. From start to what you came up with is very good. I'll be watching for the revisit to Mr Ellyflunk. 🙏 Blessed days now y'all Crawford out ⚒️🧙♂️
People have zero idea the amount of physical stamina and mental agility required to make something like this. I have moved from timber to steel recently and I am so damn impressed by what you achieve by hand Thak💪🏼🤙🏼👌🏼 awesome video, awesome skills brother, thank you for uploading this👍🏼💯
Looks pretty good to me, gonna be a mighty set when you get it done.
Thank you for the playdoh walkthrough: it really brought the process to life
I cannot come up with the correct words, right now, to express how impressive and fantastic I think your work and skills are. Top tier craftsman is what you be, good sir. If possible, could you give us a closer look at the tool with no name you were using around the 8 minute mark? Thanks for sharing what you know.
Cool. Loved the clay idea. So much fun to learn while doing things.
Awesome!
very cool! Looking forward to see more of this style of work
Excelente! 🤘
Love this series so far, keep em coming! I like the steel/copper mix too, seeing as the tusks are a pain in the ass, could copper tusks work? Got a visual in my head and I think it would look epic haha

Hi Thak, good to be back.
Instead of PlayDoh, you should use marzipan for your first-stage modeling material. Once you're done shaping it, you can EAT it to help internalize the design you want to make
Verry nais
Hi, Man) do you have a video of forging the knife that you use for cutting the clay? I wanna make the same one!
👌👍!!!
Looks like the elephant from Lord of the rings how about a King Cobra or Hydra

Like the Cobra idea
how about forging at first like you would a dragon head that way the ears would be easier to cut in at the end
sound lik a Childrens book elephants are awkward
