Thank you and you are right. I do these projects as a hobby and I'm still quite excited when I finished one. B) I will try to focus on real blacksmithing projects for my next posts. ;)

Port tongs
No, there is no chip of glass, the cut is very clear. I still pass the wine into the filter because there are often "chunk" in the bottom of the bottle, especially the oldest. My next project is a small sword for bottle of Champagne. B)

Port tongs
I'm a little intimidated to present one of my first project. These are Port Tongs. Often the cork of old bottles are glued and it is easier to cut the neck. The procedure is simple, heat tongs, then apply on the neck and cool rapidly. The break is very clear. Ps : The second photo was a prototype of tongs and an empty bottle !

I can confirm that this hammer is over 60 years ... I found it in my grandfather's barn... but I could never talk about it because he died before I found the hammer.

First post : old & new Anvil
Hello everyone ! I show you my first anvil (1st pic) and the one I just bought this morning (2nd pic). I paid $ 200 CND for a 80#. The price seems right. Do you have an idea of the brand ? Thank you and Happy New Year.
