  1. Yes it is from a museum. The barrel is also from a museum, it is vine making exhibit. The large hole is for cleaning the barrel.
  2. Varazdin, Croatia. I found the plug holder on the barrel interesting usually they are also made from wood.
  3. And there it is. Thanks Frosty. Now it seems obvious.
  4. Well it's not my anvil but I wouldn't want to start a new topic for a potentially a stupid question. I'm on vacation and there is little bar called Old Forge (closed at the moment, it is still out of season), there is an anvil for decoration. I thought that the holes for moving the anvil mean that it is a forged anvil and the absence of the holes that it is cast. Now this anvil has legs that look cast but also has holes. What am I missing?

    WOW that is beautifull.
  6. Whaaaaat? Quit your day job because you are a natural at this. Keep at it, we will follow your development with great interest.
  7. Made a butchers knife. It is a bit too big for deboning chicken drumsticks. But that was the task at hand.
  8. Thank you Irondragon, but after googling blacksmith memorial bouquet I don't think it would work.
  9. Years ago I used to work as a mechanic, fixing heavy trucks (not cars). And I found this knife on the engine jammed in between the heads. I'm guessing that whoever worked on the engine before lost it there. I have no information on it, but it is obviously forged. I cleaned it up and sharpened it and just used it in the kitchen today. The fuller is just on one side.
  10. So I made a small one. Unfortunately the spar broke when I was widening the hole so it is welded and I should have made it a bit bigger. I like the big one more. But I do like this theme, maybe I'll explore different ship designs.
  11. That is a nice hook Billy. JHCC that is a genius design, I was looking at it thinking how that lever looks funny how are you gonna hold it shaped like that. Then I realised that it is not for pressing down, that it holds it self. Excellent.
  12. I went down the rabbit hole of viking ships, because of this debate. And if Viking ever made a two spar mast it would look like this. https://www.eldjarnbaat.no/index.php/byggeklipp?id=16
  13. This topic will be little treasure trove of curiosities. Here is my little collection of French wrenches, that is how we call them here, the T shaped adjustable wrench. The three on the right side are rescued from the scrap yard and needed to be fixed. The small one I bought on the internet. That leaves the second one from the left, my grandfather gave me that one, and he inherited it from his father in law - my great grandfather, who at some point punched in his initials with a center punch.
  14. It was fit and cut. First I made the big bend or I should say bow and tok a piece of cardboard just to see how to bend the ends, and that was also just a ruff estimate. And it was done cold, so I was able to manipulate it a lot easier with hands and hammer than holding it with the tongs.
