Project from the Past: "The Missing Link"

This is a picture of one of the first signs I did. I hand cut everything but the maltese cross portion with a plasma cutter. I thought maybe I'd call it the "missing link".

    I commented back on your rose door post.
    I'm terrible at freehand cutting. I have another blacksmith nearby, www.bigriverforge.com, do my plasma cutting from my designs.

    You asked about the hours on a piece and I don't know which one you meant. I have been terrible about counting hours. I get multiple short periods to work, so I never manage to keep track of them.

    The steel is 18 gauge. The bronze was more like 14 gauge. The copper pieces were a mix of gauges, 16 gauge for the chasings and then lighter stuff mixed in for the overall collage.
