- Chief warrior native American #skullart metal face #mask forged Sheet metal Blacksmith DIY
Hello all and welcome back to Empty Pockets Ironworks. For this weeks build I thought I would take you all along with one of my old but favorite projects. I love old world and Norse and Native American cultures. Truth be told According to the government I have native blood in me and according to my family crest and lineage we originated from Scandinavia- migrated to Ireland and eventually the USA around the turn of the century. My Great grandfather took a bride Viola Teehee the daughter of a medicine man from around Peru Kansas. Hence the Teehee- Hasty family SO I grew up enjoying native culture and fantasy art which I thing has melded really well with my Ironworks as an artist.
Now that you know more about my family than you cared too I hope you all enjoy the video, I tried to keep it as entertaining and engaging as possible giving the subject matter.
Materials for this project was simply 14 gauge plate, I extensively use my Valley Tool (balls) and a cedar block as well as a shotput ball and an anvil. If you attempt one of these using my templates please share I would love to see other work inspired by any of my works or at least helped along with my techniques.
As I mention in the video this is always a great seller for us and a super fun way to keep those shaping skills in check. Each can be so dramatically different looking and that is part of what makes these so great to make.
For the Channel we are hovering around 2050 subs!!!! That is so exciting, I truly hope that it continues to grow and That I can continue to come up with creative content for you all.
As always please make sure to subscribe -share and Comment the simple act of commenting and or hitting the like button really helps me out tremendously.
If you have any ideas for projects to try in the future please let me know I would love to try and take on a project put forth by my viewers.
I greatly appreciate each and everyone of you, Thank you so much for the continued views and comments.
See you next week
Chris
I like narration and the mountain music
Chamo que Fino tu mano soy tu fan de Venezuela soy 100% amante De las calaveras como deceo una asi en mi Casa Buenos te filicito por tu hand amigo tu fan Nelson Lopez dios salve Al rei 👑
Continue as u r all is good
Thank you
Leave the nay sayers to their keyboards...this is fantastic work! I am reading the comment about the "precise eye socket as it relates to race"...HA! I always like to say...show me the one you made, then we can talk about it. Very happy to have found your channel. I was looking for advice about making a deer skull with mustang headers for antlers. Can't afford the fancy ones...so I thought I would make my own.
It was fine could hear you fine
Great job and on music at start and end ok. I enjoyed listening to you and your work. After all said and done........that's what we are here for. new sub
Thank you so much!!
HEY BROTHER!
I found this video when I was looking for mask forging specifically 😅
Anyway, getting to the end and listening, I didn't even notice you didn't have music going.
The work and the well versed explanations of what, how, and why you do everything was all that was needed for me.
I think your right on with what you have been doing. Make it easy on yourself
Thank you
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌
Thank you
I prefer the sound of the work and equipment. Ultimately you have to do you.
Превосходная работа.
Love the non music videos!
Cool project! Here's something that you might find interesting. Eye socket shape differs based on where you're ancestors are from. If you're from European ancestry you have aviator shaped eye sockets, Asian is rounded, and African is more square shaped. Also, the brow ridge (orbital torus) dictates male or female. Males have a pronounced brow ridge while women don't. This skull looks like a male of European ancestry. Native American would be more rounded. None of this really matters but it might be something fun to think about while you're banging on iron.
That is super cool and really helpful info! I did know a bit of it my previous skull helmet builds both have different eye socket shapes. In the future I may add different shape options to templates. As they are mainly just fantastical I honestly just learned towards a menacing but convincing look. Thank you for the comment I greatly appreciate it
Another skull nicely done
Thank you
I like to hear the sounds of the work. It's nice to have the commentary descriptions of the process. Fun work to watch. I've made a few 3D sheet metal sculptures, but not a wall mount. Inspiring me to get at it again. Thank you from an old Maine blacksmith.
Thank you for the input and watching! Greatly appreciate it.
Love your work nobody can complain about your welds man and all looks Kick-Ass don't stop doing what you doing
I greatly appreciate that! Thank you so much
I love this video the way you produced it, & I love the mask art work👍
Thank you so much I really appreciate it
You have the same heater I use to keep the shop warm until things get going. I enjoy your tips on how you do things. Great job..
Thank you so much!
Nice work good sir. I really enjoyed this.
Thank you so much for watching
BADD AZZ 💯
Thank ya
If you like the music keep it either way is good
Thank ya
My opinion: Subtle music that doesn't overpower while you're working is ok. For tutorials I'd prefer no music. Lot's of fabrication channels have no music. Maybe a little intro and outro music only. I like the way Ron Covell edits his videos where he speeds up slower parts. He's also an amazing sheet metal craftsman. Thanks for sharing the forming skills. You make it look easy.
Thank you, I really appreciate the feed back! And taking the time to watch the vid.
Very nice. I'll be trying to make something like this. Thanks for the inspiration 👍🏼
Thank you so much
Chris that looks awesome!!! I prefer the videos in this format your comments add to the content, well done 👍
Thank you sir
You are freaking amazing man... great work and art abilities.. nice job.. God bless...
Thank you so much!
Wonderful work Chris! Folk and bluegrass music is right up my alley, but I also like the running dialogue regarding what you are doing. Kinda makes it feel like I'm looking over your shoulder as you work. Maybe mix it up. I'll watch regardless. Hope you do well at the show this weekend and the weather cooperates.
Thank you sir I really appreciate it. And thank you for the ongoing encouragement
I like this format. But I also like the music. Maybe use music on the intro and exit. And some "Hammer" music (Dulcimers..lol) during a scene of the metal being heated up. Oh.. and if you could sell some popcorn that would be great as well...extra butter! Great Job Chris
Thank you! And I do like the idea of intro- outro and hammer music I think I can make it work.
I like the way you did this machine on. no music. Nice work. How long did it take to make this one?
Thank you, normally I be can make one of these in less than 3 hours
This is awesome video keep it up .I surely do hope it warms up pretty guick
Lol thank you me too
I just found your channel aweek ago.I'm blown away.Dude great stuff thank you.Need info on the magnet and the templatess.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to look at our videos. The magnet is the back end of a Sony subwoofer. And our template designs are available by emailing emptypocketsironworks@gmail.com
I like to hear the sounds of the hammer striking metal, the grinding etc.. Much can be gleaned from the ring of the metal and the different dullness when using wood vs metal for shaping. The sounds can be as much of an education as the visuals. I just found your channel and just subscribed. I love it and I will be watching regularly regardless of what you choose to do about the music, but that’s my two and 1/2 cents worth. This is right up my alley and I feel like I just struck gold. Thank you!
Thank you so much for commenting and for your views it really means a lot to me. Feel free to reach out anytime I always try to respond to comments when possible
You are the most talented blacksmith I have seen here on UA-cam, plus you seem to have a great personality. I enjoy both but I prefer the talking and explanation as you go. But both formats have there place. Just keep doing what you do your channel is going to explode with growth.
Thank you so so much it truly means a lot to me. And that's the hardest part about any sort of social channel is figuring out what the populist wants. And I hope someday it explodes but in all honesty it's already bigger than I could have ever hoped for thank you again
I like the video's you have been doing. I also liked this one as well. I watch your channel because your a great creator. Do what suits you best my friend. I'll watch either way.
Thank you sir I really appreciate it.
Thank god no music !
Very nice mate . And about the music what ever suits you I watch to see you create not to be a critic. cheers mate. :)
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
hi
i like the project the feathers came out brilliant i dont think i could make the skull (-;.
as for keeping it in place while you weld it,
keep a look out for some old speakers you can get some good magnets on some of those.
all my best simon
That's a great idea! Thank you for that
Hi Chris - sounds like you have templates for some of your projects. Where can those be purchased? Learning a lot - especially the tools you make and how to use them.
Thank you so much. Just shoot a message to emptypocketsironworks@gmail.com my wife Laura will get you fixed up.
Hey Chris, I really enjoyed this video. Regarding that valley tool you made, what is the diameter of the two tow hitch balls and
when you welded them together were the balls touching each other or did you leave a gap? Keep up the good work.
Thank you, they are 2"balls and had approximately 3/16 -1/4" gap. I mig welded them with .023 wire
Hi Chris, thanks for the information. I made a valley tool but am waiting for a response on obtaining
a template but have not heard from you or your wife. Thank you.
Less music is better! Always have it low volume!
Thank you for the feedback I greatly appreciate it
Another great video, could you not make a pattern for feathers to put under your press,or the round side pieces,stay safe.
Thank you, and I've thought about it. I'm sure I'll try to devise something soon.
I just found your channel and enjoyed your video. Subscribed! I'm just learning about metal work and welding and I have a question. I don't have a forge so can all this work be done without a forge? And I really like the commentary, you explaining what you're doing.
Thank you and to answer your question yes, a build like the chief skull can be done without a forge if using 16-18 gauge mild plate steel or sheet metal. Caution must be exercised while stretching the material cold as it has a tendency to split around edges or thin overly worked areas.
Hi new subscriber here! Stubbled across you channel yesterday and I liked what I have seen! When you have your templates available for your American skull art with the head dress I would like to purchase them please! Just tell me where to order. Personally I like your format both ways with music or without, but then I have a wide taste in music too! Look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Thank you so much for the comment and compliments, I will have it available sometime later this week and will make a very short video with instructions on how to go about purchasing etc. Thanks again
Another masterpiece Chris well done thanks for sharing , where can I get hold of the templates from since I’m not on Facebook.
Thank you so much. And just shoot an email to emptypocketsironworks@gmail.com
Great work. I think you should turn up the volume of the background workshop noise or do less talking.
Thank you, and thank you for the feedback
Great Vid. where does one purchase your templates
Thank you and just shoot an email to emptypocketsironworks@gmail.com
I would like to get both patterns from you if you can tell me where to download from
Hoping to buy some templates but no reply from the emails
We are currently restructuring and have no current template available. My wife has had to return to working full time and we currently don't have the time or resources to engage with inquiries currently.
Okay thanks. All the best.
Where's music the better and I'm a musician well I drummer and metal worker
I don't want music. I'm not here for music!!!
Ya I like to watch videos having people with something to say and got some wit about them. Nothing more disappointing then turning on a video and the creator can't say a word and expect us to read tiny text that flashes by before you get it all read. That belongs in a book. Music is over rated and that what all the drowns are going to tell you because they know it's going to make it harder for you to make.
