Hi Guys,
Have a look and give me some feedback as to what you think I can do better, this is my second attempt ever to forge something so don't expect Picasso's more crude water paints.
This was playing around with a piece of 10mm diameter roundbar, that I decided to make my first fire poker with, it was a bit impromptu as I was trying out my newly re-clayed charcoal forge so did not have a real outcome in mind more trying out some of the things I had been studying up on, like drawing to a pont, curving, shaping round to square and chamfering.
Here is what I picked up myself that I would like to improve on :
1. Hammer striking, to minimize hammer marks, also to take off all sharp edges on my blunt force tools.
2. Try and keep the area evenly heated where you want to do twisties, so as to get event twists.
3. Dress down the hammer marks where you struck like a toddler.
4. Have a plan.
Do your worst.
PS. I see it is in the wrong section, could a mod please move it to the right section or delete it if this is totally off topic/purpose/intent.
