These have been shown on other forums, but maybe of interest to guys here.

My bench (a lot tidier than it usually is) with work in progress.

Wow! Your high relief carving in steel is amazing.

Even more than the arabesques, the animals are very sensitively carved. Good work!

[Mark Strom]

That is some really impressive work! I don't know how you go about carving metal like that but it looks to be very time consuming.

Thanks again Phil. I love seeing your extraordinary work. You make an extremely demanding and laborious process look easy.
Others here may not know, but sense that you are one of the very best.

I recall seeing elsewhere a series of photos showing the relief work in sequence.........

I remember Phil's post with the relief carving in various stages. I'm pretty sure it was over on the engravingforum.com It was huge help in that it made me realize l was only half done with my metal carving.

I'm still half done...... At least when compared to Phil.

Very good work. I usually don't think of steel as something you can carve.

[Brian Chan]

I like the design, I don't imagine it's easy to harmoniously combine the representational parts with the arabesque design, but you did it.

The execution is flawless.

Again, beautiful works. Love the Cape's.

How about a tutorial ------- tools ?
