Thanks Frosty, Its a little rough, but it turns the screw that hold the lock on my rifle so Im happy as a clam about the function. I learned a few things about the order of work(e.g. make the handle/decorative curl from one end, then cut to length, the shape the blade) but then I guess thats part of the learning curve. Mark

This is my first item I've pounded out of hot steel, and with the smithy(which is FAR from completion)/"forge" that made it. I was gonna wait until I had my junk coal forge put together, but I just couldn't wait. It started started as an S hook but then I realized that I really needed a turnscrew to go with my PA longrifle, so this became my testpiece.... enough jawwin Mark
