They are brilliant. you could sell those easy. I would send the pictures to all those fossil shops on the jurrasic coast. Lyme regis had loads of them when I was last there. DD xxx
Made a little set of Ammonite paper weights the other day. Essentially just mucking about with some tooling and the power hammer.
I've been meaning to make these for quite a while but never seemed to get around to it but finally devoted some time to the tooling.
Dino footprints is a bloomin great idea. I like that.
Thanks Dale.
Cheers

Beautiful specimens! Are they finds or purchases?

Hey, cool, highly appreciated. I just have a dinosaur of a tablet and phone and added up I don't have much more than an online abacus. Still working on bugs and quirks.
And now that I look closer... but yeah, beautiful craftsmanship.
I was thinking about this again today, working out some tooling in my head. Definitely giving that a go when I get some time.
It reminded me of these from a wile back. Doggy lead hooks.

If you left the paw print off and hammered a large ear either side you have an elephant, which also seem popular.
Something else to add to your trunk if you go to a craft fair.
Not seen this style of paperweight before, very nice, reminds me very much of Katy Ventress's work of which I have several pieces.

That looks lame to my eyes but I bet they sell like hot cakesI was thinking about this again today, working out some tooling in my head. Definitely giving that a go when I get some time.

I enjoy Katy's work. She is immensely talented.
You would have thought so eh. I've sold a few but not as many as I'd have liked. I thought they'd be quite popular.
I kind of cleaned a very old and abused original Swiss Army knife (I think a Soldatenmesser 1908, stamped 1938) and replaced the broken/rotten scales with walnut ones made from bits of an old rotting stock. Very appropriately glued with rifle bedding compound shaded to the right colour, then filed (im)perfectly to shape and treated with my magic recipe.
