welcome to the forum. :D

Quench you have my prayers for the surgery and the rrecovery. Just please don't rush it.

I placed a point on the business end so I could just that glenn also it helps me clear the air holes in the tueyere. I that end was also spread to about 3/4" to alow more surface area to drag/push coal into the fire. I origonaly did not make it artistic becuase it took me 4 hours to make just that with a 3# hammer which about killed my arm (well between the hammer and crank blower). I didn't even think about continuing to work on it till you said something .

thank you glenn I will continue to work with this one and the one I make for the meeting will be more artistic. :)

i like this one (having just posted it ) It is only through learning our flaws that we can uncover our perfection

Ok I know that this has not been up that long but I was searching through the archives reading old posts an there was a first project that was heavely critised. I am planning on making another fire rake to trade at the August blacksmith guild of virginia meeting and I dont want to trade an unsitely piece. ( yes I am being self consious) I would like critisizim on this. It is only through learning our flaws that we can uncover our perfection. So I would like to know honestly what you think good or bad. What would you do to improve it? Thanks in advance :)
