clinton Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I just finished a set of fireplace tools for my house, well 3 pieces and the stand are complete I still need to set up a broom. For the stand I used a piece of 3/4 sq stock and forged a horse head on top then punched holes in each leg to rivet through. The tools are 28 inches long and they work good the tongs are real good for picking up logs real simple design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Browne Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 As all the others have said, "Really good work". Was that the first horse head you have tried? If so, its very impressive. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinton Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 As all the others have said, "Really good work". Was that the first horse head you have tried? If so, its very impressive. Cheers I have made a few of these horse heads they are getting better with practice I have made some bbq tools with the same 3/4 inch stock and some bottle openers that are flat using 1''x 1/4 stock. I learned this from Brian Brazeal I am attaching his sketch that shows the steps, half hammer face blows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
