    Yes, upside down, and when people ask why, look down and tell them: "Looks right side up to me!"

  • @funksterdotorg
    @funksterdotorg 6 лет назад +64

    The pigeon is now in the correct orientation for when you need to look down at it as a reminder of what your logo is (like those cheat-sheet T-shirts).
    Love the turntable mechanism.

I do leather works (carving etc) as a hobby and I've started to do more brass/copper stuff too so watching you do hand engraving has been very inspiring. All the best from Finland, can't wait to see more of your videos in the future!

    Pigeon , also no detail
    Just polished nice touch.
    I'm glad you leave the mistakes for all to see.
    I purchased a silver buckle & I noticed before
    Leaving the silversmiths
    Shop the anchor for the belt was on the wrong side.The guy looked at it
    An said you see all these buckles( about 20)
    In display case .I had to change all of them.we had a good laugh swapped a couple stories how easy it is to make unforseen mistakes.Thats just life
    An we learn & move on.
    Really good work like wise the small hammer with all the scrolling beautiful. Thanks for the videos & projects you do.
    You keep me smiling .

    Great project. To you upside down pigeon problem, why do you not undo the soldering and switch both sides? I know it messes with the back, but you could simply fill the old holes with something and and file it smooth.

    • @urituchmanpigeon
      @urituchmanpigeon  6 лет назад +82

      Thank you! you're right, it would be a bit messy but definitely doable. at the end of the day I have decided to leave it this way as a lesson and a reminder for me to always double check myself. In this case it's not a big deal but it could be a major problem if I don't pay enough attention in other projects.

It was asked of me on more than one occasion why I had all the upside-down writing on my legs. My response was always to look down at the words
      umbers, and reply "What do you mean? They look fine to me!"

    Cool buckle! My logo is a pigeon on an anvil "Blue Feather Forge". My grandfather and dad's friends used to race pigeons. I've had a rescued one that I found at work about a year and a half ago. When it was a few days old it fell out of the nest and it's wing tip was run over by a railcar. Healthy, flying and won't leave her new home.

    I know this was 4 years ago, but I hope you're still wearing this buckle because it's awesome. And the correct answer when people ask why your buckle is upside-down, is you tell them you love pigeons so much, you wanted it to be right-side-up when you look at it

    Uri, once again you have made a wonderful project and inspired me to get back to creating my own projects. I'd like to give engraving a try and make some projects out of brass.
    I agree with all the other commenters about your unique sense of humor and allowing us to see your mistakes and how you work around them. I thought I was the only one that made mistakes in my projects and sometimes had to start over. I also appreciate that you don't try to make the project perfect but it's perfect after you finish it. I'll have to come up with my own logo. I like dogs so maybe a dog. Keep making more projects Uri and thanks!

    Dear sir, the word you were looking for when you were trying to say that you wanted the pigeon to be three-dimensional or to have some raised designs on there, it's called "” relief" the word you're looking for is " relief"..relief is where it sticks up raised from its foundation. I would also like to add that I love you dude. You are so nervous and so sweet and it's just very beautiful in my eyes.don't be so nervous . you can mess up a thousand times and it's okay. do not call yourself stupid sir please don't do that .that is not stupidity it is simply a mistake so do not do that to yourself no matter who's watching this I don't care what these people might say to you don't call yourself stupid. I admire your talent and you taught me a thing that I didn't know how to do. I am an old lady, and well that's all I have to say. thank you from Kentucky Maria

    Such an awesome video. I came across it for a funny reason. Im a colonial artifact hunter (metal detectorist) here in NH U.S.A. I had a falling out with a few hunting buddies. We all end up hitting the same old colonial house sites in the woods. So I'm going to take some metal pieces that sound good on a detector > engrave a nice 4 letter slogan to my former friends on it, and bury at the average depth of a colonial coin dropped 200 years ago. Yeh its spiteful but ill get a laugh. Thanks for the great content.
