    Hi Torbjörn. I am Elizaveta Polikashina. I accidentally saw your video and I want to say that I am very pleased to see my name in the description of the video.
    The cat turned out great!

      Thank you so much! I saw pictures of your animals about a year ago, and they stuck to my mind, and when we got the kittens I thought it would be a great time to try something along the same concept. I think you have balanced the amount of detail perfectly together with simple lines. Less is more so to speak! :) I might have added too much detail but I'm quite pleased anyway.

That piece of art will go with your child forever, and they will always remember you and the love you had for them....I admire your skill, commitment, and thoughtfulness. It made me shed a tear. We need more of this in today's world! Bless you.

    I love your attention to detail...the tail bend, the flat spot below the cat nose, matching the finish, the precision of the stamp...all reasons why I watch every one of your videos. Nice to see your kids getting an intro to your craft.

    I am so pleased to see this video, not only because of your excellent work, but because your child was helping you in the smithy.
    My fondest memories of my father are of the hours and hours we spent in his workshop - almost always in silence. Either I helped him with his projects or we worked together on separate projects. He taught me so many skills. I cherish those memories now that he is gone, and to this day I love watching videos of RUclips makers - probably because of those hours I spent with my dad. Thank you so very much.

    I was so impressed with the beauty and simplicity of the cats, that I made two for some friends.
    I found, however, another method or sequence in the forging that worked easier for me. I did all the cutting out of the head and waist, the eyes, nose and whiskers on the vise BEFORE separating and forming the tail. It was MUCH easier to clamp in the vise and do all that without the tail in the way, then I quickly cut out and formed the tail and feet.

I'll give it another go shortly, I owe my wife a valentines day present still and she loved this cat. once that's done I've got to find reasons to put cat eyes on things now that I've got the ability, lol
