iron age metalsmith methods

If anyone is interested in iron age metal working methods, check out Brian Clarke's website www.ribbontorc.com He has written a book and dvd on these techniques and there is a wonderful movie trailer. He uses deer antler's for stakes. It's pretty cool.

That is pretty cool. Never thought about using antler. I guess it would work with silver as well?

fascinating. i would think the thing would be quite uncomfortable to wear. may even produce lacerations here & there about the neck.having said that, the gentleman probably does far more practical stuff (in my mind) than that shown in the clip.

This is WOMEN'S jewelry. comfort is never the issue. we just want to look great or at least wear beautiful jewelry
