Butter knife rings

  I found a series of butter knifes quite interesting for they shape and motives and turned them in to rings. Here you can see 3 pieces out of a collection of 10. Working on the butter knifes was some thing different again from forks and tea spoons. The handle of the knife is always thicker than the blade and the part were the blade and the handle join is always thiner. Those three things make it a bit more complex to work. as well a lot of material which finally gives an imposing ring .

Forged bracelets suite.

       9 bracelets out of a series of 20. A big part of the collection is forged out of those metal bars           

      you find on working sites . The other part of the collection is forged out steel parts from old 

      typing machine and sewing machines . This time I run out of those specific screws for the 

      " feet " of sewing machine so I came up with more brass screws and rivets or arranging an 

      existing screws to fit the bracelets.

Lamp.

One of a series of two .

Brass & Steel 

The brass part is made out of an assembly of different parts of old petrol lamps. 

The rest is forged and put together with screws. This lamp is made so that you 

can fix it with two screws on a chair for reading. The brass part has many regular 

gaps which let the light draw lines and dots on the surrounding walls . . . 

Forged earring.

Forged earring, first try . 

A Little long and heavy, with surgical steel, not for every body. . . But it is a first try . I will have to forge thinner and smaller. 

Hum . . . I have those old springs from an old bed, they seam to be at a good size to start and they are made out of good material .
