thank you so much for sharing this bit of your journey. it is a thing of beauty and warms my heart that you are carrying these skills on. deep gratitude.
Thanks! Go for it! The saga it is inspired by is a long story and this piece is a section of the story. The dragon is named fafner and it is guarding a treasure. Sigurd fafnersbane is the name of the hero in the story and you can find it if you search for Sigurd the dragonslayer.
Thank you very much! No silly questions! ask and you will learn :) I am quenching it in linseed oil in order to prevent oxidation and also make the pendant black. in order to do so the piece needs to be about 300 degrees celsius so the oil burns. Do you forge as well?
@@lufolkcrafts I see, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining, and it also answers the question I've always wondered which is how people get their pieces to go that nice black colour. I don't forge but it's something I'm interested in and I did go to a blacksmithing experience day once. I made a Viking-style/blacksmith-style knife and really enjoyed the day.
Thanks! I used sand mold to cast the brass piece that the dragon is holding. This pendant is inspired by a saga, and in that saga it is a dragon who is guarding gold. So this is a picture of that.

@@lufolkcrafts Hej, ja det gör jag. Hållet på med reenactment, men i Australien, så sugen på att prova på några av dina designer.

@@patrikloren förståss! :D
I _LOVE_ this piece, I might need to forge one like it! Do you have a link for the story that inspired it?

Wow
Thanks!
Hopefully I can be as skilled one of these days
Thank you for your kind words! Keep on trucking!
Love the Viking style. I have what is probably a silly question though… What was the purpose of the final heat and quench at the end? Great work 👍

Amazing! What is the object that you produced in the sand mold?
