Started with a piece of round 100 year old Wrought Iron courtesy of Karl Anderson (kbaknife). Used 5160 for the bit. Made a few mistakes. I made the bit a little too big and I was a little out of practice forge welding. But overall I'm happy with my first attempt. It's about 5 7/8" long and the edge is 2 1/2" The picture doesn't pick up the grain of the wrought iron, also I didn't do a very deep etch yet.




After some refining and a deeper etch. It's been a good learning experience!:thumbup:



Thanks for looking :D
 
Yes, you can be happy for a first attempt. For what I can see on those pics, it seems to be a fairly good job.
