MOIN, The best explanation ive ever seen. Topp Guy.

I love your work , videos and humour. I`ll start swinging the hammer again soon. Thanks man. ✌

I know you’re not the first to do an animal head… But you are a true master. Not only have you perfected something into such a whimsical heart warming shape, but you make it with endless variety of poses that each one seems more desirable than the last. You are an artist for having captured such a real truths to imitate life, such as the ear pose or noticing any other detail to make it more lifelike. But what makes you a master above all is your willingness to share your knowledge, your tool designs…. So freely. Thank you so much for being so generous🙏

Thank you for your kind words. Fun to see steel come to life. I enjoy sharing the information. Like ya said I am not the first.. I had information and processes shown to me and feel I made progress. I am exited to see others and what they do or change.. by sharing we all move forward. Thanks again for your kind words.

Nice, I will give it a try how you do it. My town has the donkey as mascot, so ... :)

Oh my goodness, man... Holy Donkey! (better than holy cow). That's great. I love donkeys. Thank you.

Unmistakable sound of an Induction Forge in the background 🤘😎

Очень хорошо 👍

Thank you for sharing your secrets with us! I have one too....if a wound won't heal quickly I apply honey to it, works wonders. Looking forward to your next project. My family liked my attempt to tortoises mounted on wood for paper weights.

The turtles are so fun. Thanks for the tip on honey. I actually have been using a medical honey.. it was ok. I started using raw honey from my area and the results are awesome. I think I might even get some feeling back. It was a bad burn. Lost feeling in my pinky cause of it Your right honey is amazing. Glad your tortoise came out great 👍 Thank you.

Keep the ears cooled off 😀 they are a fun project.

Fantastic product! So nice to see the first ones that you made, it highlights WHY you do it they way you showed and HOW you figured out what worked. I've held onto some of those sorts of things in a dusty corner, and it's fun to look through them and see where I've been and where I've gotten to.

Tres sympa cet âne … bravo

I have been waiting for this one! Like your shirt!

It's a fly press with a set of half inch round fullers I made. Works well. Any type of half inch fuller should work. I used a guillotine style for a long time worked good. Thanks

Thank you

I wish you would try a rabbit head ?

Absolutely hilarious! Love it! Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoy making goofy animals myself. Something from our childhood cartoons perhaps?

Kind of a collection of several cartoon donkeys in my head. Was shooting for a silly donkey.. took me a while but I think it works. They are fun.

I tried this technique...worked out pretty well, and the donkey did indeed look silly. I did have a problem though with the "neck". I drew it out and rounded the bar off to set it up for a future hook. However, with all the hammering and the using guillotine tool, it put a lot of movement back and forth on the neck and it ended up snapping off. I only hit it at yellow/orange. Any suggestions on how to avoid this from happening in the future?

A bit less talking. A picture is worth a thousand words
