February 7, 201016 yr Hello All, Here's a wood rack I made for my sister. I am still learning and have less than a month actual forge time, be gentle. I must admit I am a little nervous posting with all the top shelf smiths here, but here goes...
February 7, 201016 yr looks great to me! it should do its job and has enuf details to make it interesting!
February 7, 201016 yr One months forge time huh? OK, if you say so.... Could have fooled me! Nice job on design and execution! I bet your sister loves it :)
February 7, 201016 yr Author Thanks guys, I have a good teacher and constant good advice from some very talented smith's.
February 8, 201016 yr Looks beautiful A.W.! I spent the weekend on something more practical than beautiful. A friend of mine restores vintage automobiles and he complained that his "slap spoon" a tool used to push dents out of sheet metal, was too light to work on the 16 ga. or thicker sheet metal found in vintage cars. Using his store-bought tool as a model, I took a piece of jeep leaf spring and forged him one that's about 3x as heavy.
