Thor's Hammer.... The hammer to rule them all. The now famous Marvel character has lost his hammer in the latest movie: Thor Ragnarok

Hela destroys this magnificent piece of weaponry, leaving Thor in dismay. The original hammer was forged by some dwarves:

A little background Source

In his account of Norse mythology, the Prose Edda relates how the hammer was made by the dwarven brothers Eitri and Brokkr, and how its characteristically short handle was due to a mistake during its manufacture.

Eitri and Brokkr were bet by Loki they could not make and match the other powerfull weapons like Odins spear Gungnir


My challenge is for all of you Sand Casters.... I want you to recreate Mjolnir for Thor and share your craft with the world!

Some rules

  • Mjolnir has to be wearable
  • Mjolnir must be made of Silver .999
  • Mjolnir has to be 1 troy ounce or less
  • Mjolnir can be as small as 1/4 T OZ
  • Mjolnir can be any design you desire of it
  • YOU WILL BE REWARDED FOR YOUR EFFORT

All SBD from this post will be rewarded to the best design. And that design will be purchased by myself, hopefully at a good price 😉😂

  • Please under $70-$80

We will have a post for all designs where the #steemsilvergold community can vote on the best design in their eyes, I will buy that design. But I reserve the right to get more than one 😂😂😂

So there it is... All you "Sand Casters" the mages of the SSG world, get to your designs, think of a winner.

  • You will have till the end of the month

@theb3ar @mr-vulcan @mrs-v @dixiesilverminer and everyone else!

Oh we've got a few really good sand casters on here, hope you find a taker!

Me too, would love all of them to show us their process and get the craft out there 😀

Good comment

That's a tall order. Sure they can do it but it ain't gonna be cheap

say $70-$80 ish? Can be as small as 1/4 OZ

The key is selling more than one or two ;)
Volume RuleZ!

My idea incorporates exposure too, they get to have all these people on here see what they can do. Then hopefully they will also get more custom orders from people seeing the great work they can do 😉

Yeah that sounds about right. All about finding that mold tho. Your dimensions will be a tough nut to crack. Not trying to be a downer just the way it is ya know

I guess that is why it is a challenge 😉

We did it in Jr. High School, would be pretty sweet to get back into such a craft... Equipment outlay would be stiff. Sand cast = one-off, I wonder what the more permanent processes consist of? Make a great pattern is the start. Good thing my son is not in here he'd be all like

YEAH! LET'S DO THIS DAD! lol

Might need to give it a try 😉

;)
I'm not saying it would be EASY, but I have done all the elements of this particular artform before. The sand casting would be the toughest part IMO. My old Mum had molds for ceramics, but we gave a lot of those away. Not sure if it would handle the heat of Molten Silver. Doubtful.

Good afternoon, my question is in what way is it recreated through drawing or illustrations or in any way?

Casted with pure .999 silver, into a wearable piece. Ring, pendant, even a bracelet.... But must be between 1/4 and 1 troy ounce

ok I understand

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
