Really neat. Looks like that saw works great; a reciprocating saw? Man why didn't I think of that. Could you share some details on blade, etc.?

The blades are made by Milwaukee. They a 6" 14 tooth. Think they call the blades the Torch. http://www.milwaukeetool.com/accessories/cutting/48-00-5782

OK I was asked how I made my split cross. I finished this up last night. I hope this helps and is worthy of this forum with all the people that has been doing this longer than myself.

 

Thanks guys. Ill get started on the pic taking this weekend. Dayjob is keeping me busy today.

I will do a picture tutorial for what I did . the wife has already started her hunny do list for me to make for Christmas. :-)

I made one cut though the head then another cut though the tip of the spike on the other sides overlapping the cuts. Them opened it up.I watched a bunch of youYouTube videos before trying.

A request from my wife. Something I can now mark off my to do list. A railroad spike cross. I will admit I used a sawzall to cut it though. Some difficulty swinging the hammer right now with a torn tendon in my elbow.

Thanks Mike. Just trying to have a little fun in the imagination area.

OK I borrowed the idea and gave it a go. Good practice shaping a point. Might make more.

Of course, extensive further testing is in order, but it seems to perform quite well thus far :D.
 

tundra, that is a cool idea for a wall opener.

I been working on a few more. Ive started to use spray on poly to help protect the finish. I find that it gives a nice gloss look and brings out the colors of the steel better. This one i left the blueing from the heat.

Got a chance to play in the forge a while back, just getting around to posting:-)

 
nice work on the key holes. Takes a while for me to practice them.

 

My first attempt.  Not very fancy or technical, but it does its job well.
 
Inspired from another design I saw on here (Secor's) that I really liked for its simplicity.

i like these small openers. i will give some of these a go.

finished this for a friend.

Finished this over the weekend.  My kayak fisherman.

 

Night before last i found a small piece of square stock and a light bulb went on in my head. Going off how my hand fit around my wifes wrist i sized and twisted this bracelet for her.  Something fun i used to practice  with.

I like it! Someone will be happy to take it home. Just in case they don't have them send it to me :)
Railroad spikes for the head?
Dave

 

Yes i used railroad spikes for the head and a left over peice i forged for the tail.  I had a guy a while back pay me with two 5 gallon buckets of railroad spikes for one of my bottle openers.  I have been looking at them for a while now and stated making railroad spike creatures and people.  this was my first shark.  working on a fishing one now.

thank you everyone.

its not all forged but some of my work is starting to take on a hybrid look of forged and welded.  This work i am going to donate this month to a local fishing tournament that raises money for disabled veterans.  This is 12 in long and 5 in wide.

this looks amazing. great job.

After reading many post i got down to the nitty gritty and started my forge.  Got this done in about an hour and a half but now its at a standstill till i get the rest of the stuff to finish the burner and to coat the inside.  One thing that i have tried was to finish this with as litttle invested as possible.  So far everything is what i had laying around that i had already paid for.  I also had a turbo torch kit i havent been useing that is for lp gas or mapp gas that i am concidering to use or i can scrap parts off this old gas grill that i found in some ones trash.  For the inside im getting ready to get a new water heater and wonder if the guts of that thing can be used from the old water heater some how.  Just my rambleings.

 

Im typing this on the fly before i head of on a trip.  But i have been making stuff now more often thanks to request for my openers. One thing i failed to concider was a coating to apply to everything after i was done to protect them.  Im sure this is already posted but what have you guys been useing.  I was on youtube and saw some recipe for a solution made from beeswax, tupitine and some oil.  I thought about spraying a polyuathane on it but thought that would chip after a while.  I am still learning as I go and i learn after watching how stuff is done also trial and error kind of guy.

Thanks in advance.

thanks guys.

Those are nice. Great job. 

This is some of the work that i have been working on. Not all forging but some of my creativity from stuff that i find laying around. Hope you guys like it. Ive got two more going on slowly as i get to them. I have also started to add my stuff to a facebook page that i called Angry Anvil Forge. Something fun to do. Right now im just trying to finish my LP gas forge.

more pics and a rose i made for my wife

Ok i tried out some new techniques today on my Angry Openers.  I went with a twisted rubix and a hole style opener.  With some more practice i will get better at it.  Thanks Black Frog for your tutorial on YouTube for the opener.
