Forgery of A Black Raven?

In this video I make a forgery of the elusive Black Raven Axe, out of production for nearly a century. This tribute was made possible by using my new Thunder laser! I painted on the "resist" and laser etched away the graphic to be exposed to the salt water in the electrolysis process. You can see I did some experimentation that yielded a perfect copy.
Thank you and get a Thunder laser....

Never get tired of marvelling at Jimmy working a bandsaw

Jimmy could do live streaming anytime he is at the bandsaw and I’m sure he would have an audience that rivaled a video game streamer on twitch.

My thoughts exactly. Nobody else runs a bandsaw like that, working a piece down to that level.

He gets things to a better shape and finish using the band saw, than most get using belt sanders and files. He's definitely proof that with enough practice and use, any tool can become an art. Even his older videos show his skull with a band saw. He uses for ways most wouldn't even think to

@marshallhansen5170 10 ай бұрын

Not a forgery. Props to Jimmy but I think many missed the question mark in the title, DIRESTA included in the logo pattern, and leaving PLUMB on the obverse. A great demo for the laser and Jimmy's creativity and skill.

@thomasmchugh1448 10 ай бұрын

Beautiful work, truly. One minor quibble, the grain orientation in the handle is completely off, meaning that as a user, the handle life is likely to be short. As a wall-hanger, of course, it doesn't matter.

Reminds of an axe head i found embedded in a tree in Germany. Just the axe head, the handle long rotten away. I was detecting with friends and even today, i don't know why i looked up, way higher than normally one would look whilst doing that, and there it was, half eaten by the tree as it grew around it.
