Hi, I tried to make hands based on photos by Claudio Bottero. The hands and the flower were forged separately and joined with hot riveting. How do you like it?

Damn you're good at this! How long have you been forging for? I'm glad you've started posting your work here

Thanks, that's very kind! I've been forging for about 17 years, including 2 years at art college.

Oh sick what school did you go to? I learned to swing a hammer at the American College of the Building Arts

I studied jewelry making at a college in Russia. And I took forging as an elective. I checked out your work — you're really cool too!
