How to Forge a Human Skull - Forging Techniques for Beginners

[@ThakIronworks]

Come back next week when Robb integrates this skull into a chalice of sorts.

[@brianhubbard2940]

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

[@spooky5257]

How long did it take?

Watching this again and wishing I could give more thumbs up.

[@dsmasynergy]

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Skull look awesome. Details on his face look real. You got so pretty chisels👍 looking for next where you are going to use it I will make a good key chain or a bottle opener

[@ThakIronworks]

Went a bit bigger than a bottle opener

[@cwbynnjavkng8116]

[@andrewlipic8414]

Not sure if you've tried it, but when you finish the eyes and they're still round, have you ever tried turning it into an octopus? Especially if you put more detail in the curl for the scull

[@ThakIronworks]

Check my cthulu video

Appreciate the tutorial/ music Slap some HEAVY METAL IN THERE? I'm an old metal head!

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 KZbin 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.
