[@letsgo6500]

You are welcome. The turtles are fun to make.

[@Mesa877]

@@letsgo6500 they really are! The first one I made. The legs were a little short and lopsided. Going to make the grove deeper on this one and cut the legs with a hack saw instead of an angle grinder

The top of a RR spike would be an awesome start, leaving some length under for head, tail and legs.

Estimado trabajador del hierro : un verdadero herrero No usa guantes . .... tu video es interesante, pero tiene más palabras que una obra de Broadway...... Debes hacerlo mudo y en cámara rápida.... Con música de los Confederados y orgullo por eso .... Desde Argentina un saludo de Eduardo Lloreda. .....

[@johndrogden897]

Man that is cool how u did that simple but not thanks cool video

[@rigidironworks9834]

New subscriber. Loved the video and had a blast making one of these little guys. I made a video of me making one for my channel, hope you don't mind, thanks for sharing the process.

[@letsgo6500]

Thank you. They are one of my favorites to make. Please do make em share the process.. I hoped it would get people forging something different and trying something new. I love em my shop looks like a pond turtles everywhere. I will have to check out your page. Thank you.

[@rwg727]

Nice work! Thanks for sharing your work!

[@grandadz_forge]

Just a thought cutting out the legs might go easy by drilling a hole near the belly first (the width of the gap). Yor systems are genius!

[@letsgo6500]

Had a guy comment he was going to machine some blocks out.. I am sure drilling and milling would work good.

[@samwise413]

That is soooo cool I got to try this ty btw box turtle was funny😂

[@Kirt-Davis]

This Is Awesome

[@letsgo6500]

These are very fun. Turtles all over my shop. Thank you

[@nicholasgarland6653]

Lol that is pretty cool!! Being in Louisiana I think imma make some of these! Very creative!

[@letsgo6500]

I lived in Welsh for a while and Jennings. I loved the turtles and gators.

[@prestonedmonds4704]

I've made 3 thus far and I'm obsessed! Lovely!

[@letsgo6500]

That's awesome. I am obsessed with them too.

[@prestonedmonds4704]

@@letsgo6500 Have you tried hot cutting everything? I have made 6 thus far and 2 have been hot cut entirely, no power tools, and I feel like if I spent more time at it they could look as good as yours. I like hot cutting the little bit of material on the belly because the way I do it it leaves a triangle of material in the center which you can fuller down and I feel like potentially could add more detail

[@letsgo6500]

Yeah I have hotcut them. Just takes more time and skill. I wanted it to be as easy as possible to make. I have found that some customers like them traditionally forged.. if that's the right term.. others don't mind modern tools. It's a good topic for sure. Customers, skill, time, tools.. I love seeing a piece someone made and seeing chisel marks ,punched holes, even a different surface texture/color that coal does. There is a beauty in just using what tools you have.. a good hot cut in the right hands can make a awesome turtle. This is a topic I think of alot.. I am glad you like the turtles. Using different processes cutting ,chisel, will make the turtles you build all your own.

[@gregwells8764]

cheers reckon i could make one of these. was bored with doing hooks !

[@letsgo6500]

They are fun.. it is a great project to just try something different. 👍

[@markgehring4229]

[@letsgo6500]
