I feel the pqin of the uneven legs. My towelrack also had a couple of misfits

Ha thanks for the explanation.

Nice

The edge. You can see it on the 2nd photo. Or is a line from hardening?

Very nice knife, cool inspiration story as well. If I may nitpick. The bevel looks uneven grinded.

All looking good. Jaleous of the time you spend at the anvil. I spend my hobby time also around an anvil, but it is to fix up a hobby car. At least it is metal

So finally it hangs up.

Nope, was my first try and failed spectacular. Made like a scroll and I used a scrolling tong to keep the angle of the bar more or less consistent. If I ever do a serie or matching set, i would make an mandrel, because I think it will be faster. Was 10x10 square, but yeah for the ribbon part i flattend it to more or less 20x4.5 or 5 The end piece i went to 25x4. The only problem i see with the handle is that i did not made a stand so hanging or standing is a bit hard for the time being. Good thing is that i have my giftidea for him next year.

I needed a gift for a friend, so I made a fire poker. He has a pizza oven outside.

I never had an angle grinder cutting out on me because of overheating. And i worked 6 years at a shipyard. Frying up an extension cord yes, especially with fibre discs. The small ones, with 125mm discs. On the bigger ones, it was me who crapped out of overheating But than i see you said cheap. Maybe there is the problem. The bosch or makita they run, till the brushes are gone. And than you get new brushes. The cheap grinders i only use in fibreglass. Because the nasty dust, cheap or expensive, they get worn out fast (and I don't earn enough to replace the expensive ones).

Steve, missed this topic complete. Good to hear you are feeling better. What a s%&tshow at your wifes ex-job. Hope that what goes around, comes around for her ex-boss. Enjoy the retired life both of you. That you may stay in good health so you can enjoy it.

Crazy e. Yours frees solid, we have a bit of freezing. But solid (haha) information.

Depending where you live that is not a problem. And even than, the 1 or 2cm of ice it will get on top are a non issue

thats what I do, use till they leak. Empty and use a new one. And they continue to serve as a garbage container (don't forget to put a bag in it) Now I use an old vacuumcleaner. The vacuumpart is broken, but the stainless steel body is perfect. And it has wheels, very handy.

Not much smitting this year. Only a bit during saturdays at my lessions. And it is going slow work on table and a rack and things All my hobby time gets in my car at the moment. It must ride in august and still lots to do.

Yes a bombarde (not a cannon, they explained me, but the 8 year old boy in my still says cannon) It is also a beer (because what isn't in belgium) A dulle griet or a femme fatal are not the same, but close related. And yes a good name for a bombarde. I have put the facebooklink, it is in dutch, but the pictures are speaking for themselfs.

Not me but other. The small "dulle griet" is almost finished. All handforged, all rings are forgewelded. They did a great job. Could be found on facebook they told me. Probably under "dulle griet" https://www.facebook.com/Hersmedenvandedullegriet/

oh, come on honey. Can you not be like normal people and take photo's of the buildings? You with your iron bars. Nice pictures, thanks

easy jen, easy. I think I know who you mean on insta. I liked it and I saw you did as well, was interesting to see indeed. DBforge or something.

Welding over the horn works as well. My blacksmith master is doing a smaller copy of the "dulle griet" by forging like the original. They needs lots of rings to size. So welding over the horn and than fitting over mandrel to size. They have done 40 or so i believe. All from square 20x20 and 25x25.

Repaired a garden fire place. Was broken in shipment. And made a firepoker for the same guy. Handle should be bigger and the ball at the end a ball.

My condolances

I believe angele sells dies made from c45 or in your terms 1045.

Oh wow. Did not see that one coming. Generously sharing his knowledge. Thanks Frosty for your years of sharing and helping others. My condolances to his wife and friends.

Made a "cat" for my sister. And made a second one for me and i have taken a very bad photo for you all
