Beautiful stuff, and photography, Richard. Where would we be without these skills to fall back on. EVERYTHING is nowadays done by 3D modelling ! A friend of mine just printed a Xebec stern, with all the complicated carving bits very neatly and perfectly cut out for me, in 15 minutes !! I was figuring out how to mark the Rosewood pieces, to try and do this by hand. My nose is distinctly out of joint !! (Nevertheless, I am still going to do it manually ) Regards Martin

Great set Richard.
I tried something like this a number of years back but didn't manage to get half as many sparks as you did. V6 is a lovely abstract image.

I can appreciate the difficulty in capturing this - I tried it but didn't have enough light so failed miserably. Very well done Richard.

An excellent, fascinating set. I particularly like the ones where you have captured the flying sparks and the mess of chains in the last version.

A fantastic set of images perfectly captured Richard, I have never seen anyone make chains but I do love to watch a blacksmith at work. You have captured the sparks well too.

Hope you were well protected from those sparks, Richard, they look very close in the lead image! Wink

A great set here of a great subject, but that lead image has to be the winner

Superb! Wonderful set, I really love the sparks that you captured here.. great work, Richard.
We see chains everywhere, but I've never thought that they were made one by one in this way.. meaningful shot.
