    In this video, I forge a human skull motif from 3/4"x 3/4" mild steel. This style of sculptural forge work utilizes a few different chisels and punches to "push" the steel into the desired shape. It is often useful to think of the steel as a piece of clay that you are squeezing into shape. Instead of using your fingers, you are using hammers and punches.

      You should make work shirts with a little piece of your work on the front pocket or on the bottom of the T-shirt I would definitely buy something with Vikings and skulls even hoodies with a little piece of metal pin on it beanies and hats

    You know what I hate about Thak aside from his sick dope ass shop or the fact that he probably has a hot looking wife. His whole " Hey look at me make some sick ass cool shit, effortlessly that are highly prized and sought after and on a bad day fetch more money than you make all week! " attitude of his. That's why I hate Thak, Call it envy or call it jealously it doesn't justify Thaks attitude or the fact that he worked hard for many years as I sat on my ass smoking pot watching UA-cam doesn't excuse his behavior. But I'm going to be the better man and not let personal issues cloud my judgement like some people here! I'm even going to like this video as I like all his other show off video's that Thak likes to rub in my face.
