I know I'm late for this post, but I'd say the face plate is way too thick to be a Vulcan. Maybe Fisher?

What I enjoy the most? Hmm, that's a tough one. For me, anything with upsetting or splitting.

...blacksmithing that is. Not relationships!

ha,ha,ha....... 

i'm on in a tong grove myself right now.

the bigger the better. i have an 8 inch and its to small. 

yup. i can't claim it as my artwork but it certainly is true.

nice job. is that copper on the handle?

so... HOW DO I GET ON THAT GUYS WILL?!

very nice work. beautifully done.

oh well.(sigh). there goes my dreams of being an inventor....

very true. especially about the newbies wanting to make swords.

yup.

i was in the shop the other night and got a piece of 1/2'' round caught between my hammer and my anvil. this is what it looked like afterwards. my question is, has anyone seen a pair of tongs like this before or did i invent them? they work really well on flat stock. i'm hoping there original cause then i get to name them....

nice.

TubalCain2 once had a sister

Who disliked his blacksmithing blisters

But on I-Forge-Iron

There's less dangerous fire

So..shoot he's coming, better shish her!

Ok, so first try-

After you punch your first hammer eye

Please try not to cry

But grab the drift

Be rather swift

And drive it away from the sky!

With limerick writing you task us,

For poetic humor you ask us,

But we're less skilled at writing,

And better at smiting,

So let us go make some Damascus!

Win...but I'll try anyway

 

To upset, to set down and twist,

with a delicate flick of the wrist,

after honing his skill,

For long years the smith still

chips his anvil, cause darn it, he missed.

bravo!

There once was a lonely blacksmith

he longed for to not be just the wheel fifth

when she finally caught his eyes

he claimed out in a surprise

"Now That is a girl I could be with" 

 

 

 

 

The blacksmith loved to hammer

and no he did not stammer

when the work day was through

he drank a pint or two

and never did he wind up in the slammer.

i have to say das, 'just your imagination' might not be enough for poetry. maybee a rhyming dictionary..... 

i've seen folks do that out of horseshoes but never wrenches. very creative.

SO jealous. NICE anvil.

ok, ok.
