    In this video, I create a stag head from silicon bronze. The process involves hammering flat sheets of bronze into shape, hence the term, beaten bronze. The antlers are actually made of steel, just to provide a bit of contrast. Many individual pieces are shaped which are then welded together to create the final shape.

    A fish a deer and a Thak walk into a bar. Fish says Thak is the deer drunk? Thak says no he's hammered

    I respect a talented craftsman as yourself who shares all his secrets with the world as you do.
    I have one complaint however. Your teachings have led me to build a gas forge, silence my anvil, get even more hammers, make a crap load of chisels, Fuller's and now tongs...where does it end??
    Thak, you are the best!
    Respect

    Awesome work! I love when you get into the details of why you go about forming things in different ways, and the other ways you could have gone about it, especially when you use multiple different methods and tools on the same project like this.

    that is really cool, looks more realistic than most faux or metal heads you see in bougie home furniture stores ive ever seen. a brass bull would be a cool one to see, would be a challenging and some what disturbing project but the history/legend is interesting and fits well with greek armour series youve done.

    I'm guessing this commission will make you a few bucks. Oh, deer, did I just really make a bad joke? My bad. I'd better stick with real life and just agree that a gravity defying large rack makes a memorable sculpture. A few old masters definitely got that right and achieved immortality.

    Wonderful stag! I have been curious about the welding of bronze or brass as I don’t see anyone else doing it online and here you are! Wonder if we could get a video about how that works too between different materials. Ok here goes the joke:
    A fish, a deer and a thak walk into a bar,
    The fish orders a water,
    The deer orders a Moscow mule but can’t find his doe,
    Thak says I can come up with the doe but I’m going to need a few more Moscow mules and the fish out of water to finish her up!

    At 12 minutes in. I'm blown away by those antlers .. they look incredible Thak. Excellent work.. I can see how much metal work is truly a passion and love affair for you. I'm still waiting on that video outlining your favorite metal bands or bands in general. I play drums and favor Dream Theater but ii love so much more. Jason Becker, Jeff Loomis and nevermore Pantera tool pink Floyd origin death and control denied strapping young lad steve Vai tony macalpine Paul Gilbert and on and on and on. Anubis gate voyager hemina(moonlight bride is a badass song) do you play any instruments? Love to hear how you got into this field. Keep up the good work.

    A deer, a Fish and a Thak walk into a bar that's along a very trafficked road, by drivers and animals alike.
    The bartender bends over the counter, opens his eyes wide and exclaims: "I'm used to seeing hammered guys walk into the bar and looking like fish out of water after having run over some deer that was crossing the road in that moment, but it's the first time I witness a hammered DEER being carried inside by a guy AND A FISH, literally!"
