Horse Head Build Part 1

[@joshuadelisle]

Hi Gary. Just got word you published the video! You're doing a good job! If you wanted I could have sent you the DWG files, it was just too many for etsy to download but can email them fine. Part L is the nostril and is formed like a half cone with the long taper pointing down.... If you get what I mean. Any problems feel free to ask. I'll do a follow up video addressing any of your difficulties. All the very best and thank you so much for the shout out!

[@heardashot]

Thank you Joshua for sharing this work. Greetings from Ireland.

[@joshuadelisle]

@@heardashot thank you for supporting me! Cheers J

[@joshuadelisle]

Thanks Adam! I designed it based on a an Arab cross that my wife used to look after, he was a very special horse called Saracen. I've been developing this design method for a long time now, its only now that I've been able to give it the time it needs. Cheers J

@Joshua De Lisle this is absolutely amazing! Very talented for creating this beautiful work of art!!

[@Malueram]

Just to the "welding on of the face" part and found your videos! Thanks for posting you've saved me hours!!

[@jeffgrier8488]

[@SHawkeye007]

Nicely explained buddy thank you.

You video was so enjoyable. 🐴

[@carlyeckert4670]

Gary, you make this look SO easy and I know it's not! This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long long time! Bravo. Greetings from USA.

[@danielcrawford7315]

Was amazed when I say Joshua build it...yup still amazed watching you. Definitely a skill level ten levels above my ability. It's an amazing creation without doubt! Blessed days sirSir and blessed Christ mass season to you and your family, Crawford out

[@alanm3438]

I am enjoying your video. I do some metal art. I have a small CNC plasma cutter and I want to try this horse. I understand your struggles. I live in Wisconsin, USA and I find your English a little funny. You are doing a great job.

[@steelpennyforge5152]

Looking good so far! On to part two!!!

[@nathanblanchet2648]

I really want to make one with my powerarc. It is very nice that he has made the plans available.

[@gislijonsson7861]

Hat of to you! Bin struggling with this for days and I’m not even close to get this together! 😂

[@johnmccanntruth]

Good job, it’s looking good. Trying to fit that together somewhat blind has got to be tough!

[@jaeD7552]

Wish I woulda had this video when I was building mine

[@georgegriffiths2235]

When your forming try a sand bag helps soften the shaping old sheet metal technique

[@T-bit]

Excellent

[@jackdawg4579]

stuff that mucking around pushing, pulling and pliers malarkey! that's what Fouche and Picard made oxy acetylene torches for !

[@donswords6671]

Thank you for this. About to tackle. Need to find an anvil to use. One like you have, I would need to mortgage the house to afford, these days! :-)

[@garyhuston]

Good luck!

[@hughjanus4371]

Looking good Gary, I bought the pattern from Joshua a while ago but haven't got round to it yet, I had enough trouble trying to enlarge the PDF files for printing as not very computer literate, very helpful watching you build it as Joshua makes it look so easy :-) like you I am baffled as to how the hell you would go about making a pattern for a 3D object?

[@timd9430]

What I'd like to see is the ENTIRE process of creating the flattened patterns from the 3D object.

[@kevanmillar6439]

Welder sticking could be dust in the liner or worn contact tip, maybe the tips loose which happens.

[@4by4squared88]

It so strange, I saw that horse head on the Pin last night and I wondered how to make it. This morning I run onto this video. What are the chances…thank you.

[@jamiemahoney2446]

Looks good so far. I wonder how much feedback Joshua takes from videos such as yours.

[@joshuadelisle]

As much as I can. I'm learning how to improve the next patterns and videos based on feedback just like Gary's. Cheers J

[@aigretbenoit]

you can unfold 3D models with pepakura software

[@peterbeyer5755]

There are computer programs that use scanned photographs of an object to turn them into flat objects that can then be welded together. There is another maker who used a program to make a fox. It took him 50 hours of welding and grinding to finish it.

[@davewallace5008]

Any idea as to what these programs are?

Notification pops up saying : Gary Huston has uploaded 'Horse Head Build '. My groggy 4 am mind imagined you forging a mouth bit for a harness. I thought what's next, harness and saddle making? 🐎 Like a puzzle, eh? How long did the damsom jam last?

[@garyhuston]

What are you doing up at 4?!! Still got a pot left!

[@cortana2007]

There is a nice software, Pepakura, for transforming 3d models in flat surfaces.

[@garyhuston]

Shame it only works on windows, I'm on a mac 😞

[@cortana2007]

​@@garyhuston I know, not better for me, I'm on Linux, tried it with a windows emulator (wine) and it didn't work.

[@rogersalgado10]

congratulations for the magnificent work! is there a specific site to download the images of the most varied designs and sizes are the plates cut manually?

[@garyhuston]

The link is in the description and they can be cut manually or by a laser cutting service.

[@kashanebostic2465]

Can build me an bull head similar to the Chicago bulls bulls logo about the same size as your horse head, I want to replace my smoke stack with the bulls head trying something different

[@abiolaabis5321]

[@YouDoTheShoot]

he nay have desigend it using 3d software

[@nikkipackham2234]

Hi Gary can you tell me roughly how much the laser cutting cost? I haven’t used them before and all they tell me is the computer will tell us.. not even a rough price..frustrating if you don’t know.

[@garyhuston]

Different companies charge different rates. When I got that one done I think it was £135. But when I ordered a batch of six from another company it came down to £35 a set. Send them the drawings, they will have to quote you before they go ahead and you don’t have to go with it. If I’m doing a new job I send the drawings to half a dozen different companies and pick the best.

Подскажите, что за программу используете для того чертежа и раскладки сборки, головы коня?

[@garyhuston]

I didn’t use any program I downloaded the files from the site in the description and simply had them laser cut.

[@Shadeskast]

Man that's going to look sweet. Gary what does the AWCB stand for by the designers name??

[@ianlowe4666]

It's Associate of the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths if I remember right.

[@garyhuston]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@ianlowe4666]

@@garyhuston I can never remember if it's associate or affiliate and then have to go and double check. Which I did. lol

[@Shadeskast]

Thanks Ian. I bet it’s hard to get that title.

[@ianlowe4666]

@@Shadeskast The Diploma of Merit is the award that entitles you to be known as an Associate. It's the first of the awards the Company can confer. Then there's the Bronze Medal (which entitles you to be called a Fellow) followed by the Silver and Gold Medals (neither of which raise you above a Fellow). Gold medal winners are like hens teeth and considered Master Blacksmiths but there are a fair few AWCB's and FWCB's floating around. Licentiate is the last individual award you can go for and is given to those who've made a significant contribution to the craft, usually through education, public awareness etc. None of which applies to Gary though, as a Farrier he's got his own Worshipful Company ;)

[@donswords6671]

May I ask were you using flux core wire or gas? Thanks
