    I made a hoof pick out of a halved horseshoe. jlp, it seems like you have experience with horses. What do you think I should improve? (I'm also not making this for myself; I will be selling this at our fair.)
  7. GhostTownForge
    Okay, I'll have to look into that.

    I read a book that said to etch it in dry acid from a swimming pool supply store and then wash it off in a baking soda/water mix. What would that achieve?

    I'm about to make a ladle for my mom, but I don't know how to finish it. I have the forging process down but know next to nothing about how to make it food-safe. the ladle bowl is going to be made out of brass, and the handle will be made out of mild steel, riveted together. (not sure if this is the right place to put this discussion)

    I just read a book that mentioned this! If I remember correctly, you brush it with oil, then etch it in dry acid mix from a pool supply store? After that, I believe you wash the acid off in a baking soda and water mix to neutralize the acid. I'm not quite sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The book was titled The Skills of a Blacksmith, Volume 1: Mastering the Fundamentals of Blacksmithing. Mark Aspery

    I would like to thank everybody who has helped me through my forging adventure on this forum. You have made a massive difference in this journey, and I am very thankful.

    Thank you!

    looks great! I'm also wanting to sell/work at the stand. Have they found anyone to run the stand yet? I'm trying to find someone to contact.

    Ahh... makes sense, just wasn't sure what part he had welded
  17. GhostTownForge
    I'm probably the only one, but I can't see the weld on that hook. Maybe I'm just goin' crazy tho.

    I did quite a lot of work over the week making stuff for the NM state fair. Not the best, but pretty good for my very first nails, hooks, and bottle opener.
  19. GhostTownForge
    okay, thanks!

  21. GhostTownForge
    Wasn't too hot today either, so I fired up the forge for the first time this summer and started making my first pair of tongs! (don't have pic yet, will post later)
  22. GhostTownForge
    Thanks!
  23. GhostTownForge

    Our college has a program where you can check out one free class, but I don't know what lessons they have. It might be worth it to check it out.
  25. GhostTownForge
    They were aware of the risks, yes. and I am homeschooled.
