FROM OUR PRESIDENT:

Thank each of you that is working and stirring interest in Blacksmithing. We continue to increase in membership and hope to reach each one that is interested in the trade.

The Madison conference is just around the corner but it's not too late to register to attend. If you can possibly attend the 15th and 16th of May, do so. There will be many demonstrators from all over the U.S.

It's the time of the year to start thinking about candidates for offices in the.Chapter. These are the positions that need to be filled for a 2-year term:

President SecretaryITreasurer Program Chairman Trustee #1 Trustee #3 Trustee #5

Please think about these positions and if you wohld like to serve in one of these areas or know someone you would like to see in there, tell them and encourage them. It's important that we get your name and position you seek soon to get them on the ballot.

Many of our new members do not know about ABANA, in which we are a chapter under, and the benefits that are available to its members. We encourage you to join this organization if you desire to take advantage of the services available.

Hope to see you in Madison,

Willard Smith

For everyone who is wondering about dues -- within the next 3 to 4 weeks everyone will be getting a bill regarding the amount you will owe. We are converting to a once a year billing system. Everyone will be pro-rated on dues, so your due-date will be May 1. However, you will not be getting this bill until almost the first of June. PLEASE be patient. My new computer is coming together. And hopefully within the month we will have everyone on it and the "Invoice"wil1 be sent out. Everyones cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Also, last month someone (we don't know who), did not get their newsletter. The post office sent a very nice form letter and what was left of the letter back to us. Looked as if it got eaten by a large alligator!! Let us know if you were the unlucky one (last month was a big newsletter.).

Again, thanks for your patience and help!

e Creature Heads

by Dan Boone As Interpreted by Don Plummer

I n this exerclse Dan creates a dragon-l~ke head that he claims bears a remarkable resemblence to B ~ l l Gichner.

Dan continually emphasizes using your own itnapnation i n maklng }our dragon heads. However, i f 11's your first time at it. I would encourage you to stick to these directions . . . more or less. Any deviation from size or pro- cess and .we will not guarantee the results. However. i f you follow these directions with care and detaiL we also will not guarantee the results.

Dan yses one inch square stock of mild steel. I t holds the heat well for those of us who stay continually confused about what we're doing. A n 18' p i m wil l be about right. Dan prefers to tightly clamp on a pair o f vice-grips for tongs.

Mr. Boone can finish one of these critters In about 20 heats and about an hour and I5 minutes. That's countlng time to slowly show intermediate results to a large contingent o f gawking obseners. By mustering great levels o f technical skill and experiena. howeber. I was able to produce an infinitely Inferior and heav~ly firepitted p r d u n in only 32 heats and just under three hours.

Let's look at the process as consist- ing o f eight basic operations:

I. Notch. cut and shape the horns or ears. (Call them whatever you want).

2. Notch, punch and shape the eyes. 3. Refine the head shape. 4. Punch the nostrils. 5 . Split the mouth. 6. Shape the mouth and jaw. 7. Cut the teeth. 8. Final shaping and finishing. 1. Notch. cut and shape the horns - Notch two top edges to provide a

corner to start the chisel cuts. - Make the notches about 5" from

the nose end o f the bar. I f you're good. you can form these

notches by hammering down from

dbo\c -\lternat~\el!. >ou c.in turn the bar ups~de doun ~ n d makc the notches o\er the an\~l', sdee.

\Iter \hdplng. hedt @ 1 bend them

horns.

d

411gn them carefully. s~de by s~de - After notching. heat to a nlce

yellow. clamp tlghtly. nose down In the rlse. and begln chlsel cutting the horns

Cut them alternately . . . a little on this one and a little on the other. I t will help keep them symmetrical. (Don't forget to regularly cool your chisel.) Cut them about 2" long.

- Bend the horns down and draw. taper and round them on the anv~l. Use a l~tt le care here because you're deallng w ~ t h a triangular length of. metal. It's rash to get a fold.

down dnd hack out of the uab Klnd ol hack uhere the\ cdme lrom

2. kotch, punch and shape the eyes - botch da pre\lou,l\ deacnbed for

the hornb. c~ther with d hammer lrom ~ b o \ e or o\er the anbll'5 edge 4gd1n. be \ure the\ are oppowtel\ dl~gned Po\~t lon them about I+'' In lront of the

- Cse a series of increrts~ng-siled. rounded polnt punches to punch the e>es. Dan works his way up from about a I,." for Initial alignment. through about a 1 % " and then %". His fourth and last punch IS a cupped punch that creates a nlce. large eyeball. Dan has some of the biggest eyeballs In town.

- You may want to touch up some of the areas behind or around the eyes w ~ t h a small fullering or square chisel.

3. Refine the head shape - Make sure everything is in pretty

good shape at this point. You may want to just do a minor amount of touching up or get Into some major shaping. You can let your imagination run amok and create great bulbous noses: long. drawn out heads. wrinkle\. ctc. Don't. however. just indiscrimi- nately pound away. Think about what >ou're dolng. You could really screw it up with a misdirected blow.

- For this particular creature. Dan knocked some of the edges off the top and bottom. rounded the end of the nose just a bit and chiseled a large groove from between the eyes to the end o f the nose. This is just to add a b ~ t of design effect.

4. Punch the nostrils - L ~ k e the eyes. use a series of

smaller to larger punches and punch at the very end of the nose. Work alternately between the two nostrlls so that a symmetrical. bilateral balance may be maintained. Starting with the small punch in the right spot is very important.

- Agaln. you may want to touch up around and behind the nostrils with a small fuller chisel. T h ~ s is just to help ccentuate a few spots or punch a bit of unwanted iron back Into place. etc.

5 . Split the mouth - Spltt the mouth ~ c h that It u~l l

leabe a larger portlon of metal on the bottom jaw than on the top. some- thing along the l~nes o f 2 5 on the top and 3 5 tor the bottom.

- Keep your metal hot dnd )our chisel sharp and cool. Whene~er )ou put the th~ng In for a heat. be m~ndfu l of the horns. Pulling out the head to find one horn mlsslng and the other sparking w n cause you to say bad words.

- Anchor solidly In the vise and split down to w i th~n about 'A to '/?" of the eyes.

- When fully split. spread the jaws so they are at a 90 degree angle to each other.

6. Shape the mouth and jaw - Lengthen. taper and point the

lower Jaw. This 1s the reason we left a greater mass here when we cut the mouth.

- Fold back the now po~nted end of the lower jaw. and shape the new end to approximate that of the upper jaw.

- I f )ou are going to insert a tongue. this is a good tlme to punch a hole In the back of the gullet for a subsequent %" hole. As soon as convenient drill the !/r" hole all the way through the back of the neck. . . . beginning in the mouth and coming out somewhere behind the honrs.

- Bring the two jaws into a decent. gaping pos~tion so the saliva will just drip nicely.

-

7. Cut the teeth - 4s much u possible. heat just the Ir

Ic,uer jaw. dnchor In the ~1st: ~ n d . . sutt~ng irom the back forward. cut d

nice fang-l~ke tooth on rach r~de. 4s \ou cut 11. le\er it up d~ghrl) l o a more tooth-l~ke posltlon. I f )ou re-heat to cut more teeth. be careful not to burn up u hat :ou hare already cut.

- .Alternatively. )ou may want to ,pot hrat with a torch and cut the teeth that way.

- Csc a small. quite sharp chisel and. as alwaqs. keep thlngs symmetr~cal.

8. Final shaping and finishing - I f you are fortunate enough to st111

have something worthwhile at thls stage there's just minor fin~shing required.

- Main thing is to now heat and shape the horns Into a graceful curve. arcle. natural sweep. etc.

- I f you want a tongue. flatten and : shape as desired. a '/;" rod. Push through the previously dr~l led %" hole and weld from the back.

You now have to decide what to do with this thing. Here you are w ~ t h a nice dragon head on the end of a 6 pound bar of iron. Should you make it Into an ear ring! a cane head? a knlfe handle. a door knockei' You could lust cut it off. point the end and stick ~t into a pre-dr~lled block o i walnut or oak. This makes a nice standard for a desk ornament or paper weight.

Dan sometimes tapers and curls a bit of stainless steel welding rod. This is inserted in the tongue hole and . . . ~ o i l a . . . a corkscrew.

You can finish the head rapidly and n~cely bv buffing it with a wlre wheel dnd spraying a ~ t h two light coats o f an acrylic clear lacquer.
