Thought about making them myself. Not very hard to drift it out. 2 heats + 2 striking = DONE Thinking about around 20 or so. Pritchel - Yes

Its mainly used to prevent reaction between the copper and certain foods ( mostly acidic ) like tomatoes and such

itsme Only forging done was to localize heat ant stamp the touchmark.

DKForge The photos are not very good , my apologies Yes There is a rivett thru the assembly

But aircraft carriers are a lot cooler than railroad tracks

Looks like a pretty self sufficient operation to me .

This is my wifes anvil a NC short sugar .-

Im a huge fan of Brians but I am not totally mesmerized by the advantages of the rounding hammer other than the realitive ease it lends itself to making. I have several of Brians hammers up to and including a 5 pound rounding hammer and a 5 pound crosspien. My favorite hammer and my ( GO TO ) hammer for most all of my work with a hand hammer is a 2 1/2 pound crosspein that me and Brian forged when he was here. Heres a photo of it. -.

Haven't done those yet , but soon

First attempt at some suffolk latches . Decided to do a Story Board as I go , Second batch should be better than these . -

Various Hardy bicks/bickerns ready to be wire brushed when they cool down. --

Thanks for the positive comments

Price would figure heavily into thickness in the future. I am satisified with the angle of the sides. Got the Tin from rotometals.com. used ruby fluid flux.

Nice Work On the fireplace What is the duct at the bottom for ?

First You need to make sure the T- Shirt is 100 % cotton. My first attempt was with a T-Shirt that must have had some polyester in it ( didn't allow the flux to absorb into the cloth fully ) First you flux the inside ( and dampen the cloth with flux also. Should probally wear gloves but I didnt Then you heat the vessel until the Tin starts to melt and spread it around with the cloth ( its almost like washing the pan with the Tin :)

I don't know the proper term but the rivets are the screw together type Made from cold roll - too long Glued and srewed toghether When dry the excess is sawed off and the handle is finished

Yes I tinned them myself 99.9 % tin Cleaned it with diluted muratic acid washed it in hot soapy water Just flux tin and an old T shirt

Dillon I have a leaf that i think is bigger and more finished than that one. You made it and I purchased it in the auction at the Memphis conference. For the life of me I can't remember what I paid though. All really cool stuff but as has been mentioned , depends on the where and what type of customers

Yes the candle cups were made from 1 " tubing with .065 wall thickness. They were done with the G2 Guillotine . I left the candle cups un- flared as I was going more for a simplistic motif

Simple 2 candle Chair side Light Made from 1/2 " square and stands 54 inches tall

Fe-Wood Actually the handles on both have been fullered. The fullering adds strength as well as looks and makes the handle more comfortable to hold.

Thanks Guys

Thanks The longer one does feel fine when in the hand ( it was made longer for use at a campfire or walk in fireplace )

Forged from 10 gauge copper with carbon steel handles. Skillets have been tinned on the inside.---
