Hey there, I watched your metal bending video from two years ago. I have a few questions about it because I'm making a project I don't know how to start. I'm going to make an iron man mask in my shop class. the one he makes in a cave. but I'm wondering if I should find a cylinder tank and use that, or could I use the technique you used to make bowls, to round out the forehead part. You were using pretty thin steel. would It work with thicker stuff? I hope you see this, please get back to me. Thanks.

@@justinthehuman5165 hi Justin. Tricky one. I’ve had a go at bashing a face in sheet metal it is challenging. Especially as you go thick as you would need to heat up metal an bash. But there’s a clever guy who’s mastered this art. They call it repousse I think. Basically it’s bashing out designs on metal mainly copper but this guy call Douglas prior I think it is. He’s done it on metal made some amazing things. Will try to find name. But try looking him up.

Beautiful work young man! I’m 74 and a retired toolmaker. I started making metal art pieces years ago. I think I’ve made about everything possible out of horse shoes 😆. You’re lucky having access to that amount of shoes. I have to purchase and they get expensive. I couldn’t afford to build that big horse. Which BTW is simply awesome! I’ve graduated to making all sheet metal dogs, sea turtles with brass wire frame and acrylics. Here at Myrtle Beach sea turtles are a big seller. I made a 3 ft long hanging lamp. A ton of hours on that one. I’m also into steam punk lamps as well. Recently I did a foot long motorcycle with so much detail it was amazing. 60 hours on that one. Love to weld, braze and solder. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼👍🏼

Makes a nice change getting an in depth view into what someones reasoning or thinking on how or what they make . Just looking through you main channel as well didn't realise it was you that did the horse head in car panels . Watched that being assemble on something can't remember what but really did come out great .

Do you think that kind of stump would be doable with a bigger steel sheet? Say a diameter of 74cm.

Cool! an overseas co-sculptor using similar media. I've taken inspiration from your work and hope to see more, plus inspiring me to do more sculpting. I love your use of car panels. I agree... whites, greys, blacks and not much for vibrant car colors to choose from. Thanks for sharing! Rusty Steve channel.
