You can also heat longer areas on the steel by moving it back and forth along the length until a long section is at temperature. As long as you have heated it up it will not take as long to reheat as you pull it from the fire to do that section.

My wife says they showed this video in church, Sunday. Barely a dry eye in the place.

That's an Idea. I still haven'tfound shoes for 6 " pulleys wheels. You can buy them cut them and glue them. But to find ones that fit, haven't seen them yet.

What size stock did you use for your crosses?

Anytime you can come home with more money in your pocket than when you left it is a good day. Finished my 2 day re-enactment up today. Brought home some extra cash too! Not as much as most of the re-enactments, but this is a very small one that is still in the beginning stages. Luckily though this one is at my main smithy at the Union Mills Homestead.

thanks for stopping in. If we can be of service let us know.

Welcome to IFI.

Way to go Chris!! Congrats.

hey DJ, Yeah I'll have to keep my eye on it. thanks.

Great. I have a CW living history tomorrow as well. Luckily for me it at my main shop at the Union Mills homestead. I'll start forging about 6am. Also to pull off my side of the period presentation I need to start a daylight and end dusk as the blacksmiths of that period would have done. Good luck and hope you do well. I don't know bout you, but I will be glad to get a weekend off of events.

That's nice, that's real nice. I like the length of the horn. Looks in great shape. It would be a hard one to give away.

I have gotten to where I don't usually have the time to make the tools I need. It's all I can do right now to make the product. I have a fella at my blacksmith guild make the tools for me. Little things like bending jigs bent U-shaped for hooks or eyes I do on the spot. Ya don't get paid if the product ain't made!

Hey Archie, How bout a picture bud? Be neat to see your work.

Great to have you here. Hope we can be of service to you.
