shipto Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 just finished working on it for today and got it up and running (after a fashion) it needs finishing but it is at the stage where I could try it out. used it to flatten a few bits of thin pipe and to deface some currency and it seems to have enough weight behind it to do what I need it for. just have to finish the foot plate with safety which I discussed in previous thread, sort out the chain to hold it up when not in use and give it a lick of paint.

Bentiron1946 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 It is always satisfying to get to this stage. Now on to what is sometimes the hardest part, finishing. Good luck with the rest of the project. Keep the pics coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So, Just what do you make with these little dished parts? It looks like you worked them cold, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipto Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 yes worked cold they will be bases for small church candle holders. I am making tools for them as i go along. there will be no clever stuff with them but i hope to sell them once i have all the tooling ready.

Bentiron1946 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 "small church candle holders", for small churches, What do they look like? Do you ever do any hot work with that hammer or is it all cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipto Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 pillar candles then and no to start off it will be all cold working since i dont have a forge finished yet, have started it but i need to make some money with the cheap and cheerful stuff before I can learn to dabble with the hot iron.
