Patryk. I would like to give my great compliments to you, however I speak also as a fellow craftsman who has made this very mask a few times already and can recognize an excellent piece of work when I see it. Very good indeed.

I just wonder who will be the lucky owner of this piece :wink: ...

If I had the money I'd be the owner of the next one he makes!

Great work!!!

Now that I would like!

Excellent work Patrik, and yes i would agree, it looks almost identical to the original!

Sure you didn't sneak into the museum at Kalkriese!!!! twisted:

Great work. I can bend metal, and sometimes it goes where I want it to go, but that's very high level smithing. Laud for your effort!

[Martin Moser]

Great work, Patryk!

[Peroni]

Very nice indeed!

Will you be applying the silver sheet as well?

[Virilis]

Very nice indeed!

Will you be applying the silver sheet as well?

Nope. I just wanted an iron replica of the original :wink: !

When you do the shaping of the metal, say, the nose, do you use a recessed (negative) form and beat the metal into it, or a raised (positive) form and beat the metal on it? I clearly don't understand how that process works, but I'd like to.

Do you work with the metal hot or cold?
