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

well done, I have not tried a set yet, maybe this will motivate me to give it a go, thanks for sharing!!

Nicely done clinton.

I saw one with a unique twist and made one like it.

Nice horse head, generally well done set, thanks for posting it.

Nice work Clinton.

Good work. Ingenious tongs too.

Well done,sir.

That's nice to look at, very well done Clinton.
Anybody would be proud to have that set in their living room.:cool:

Nice work Clinton! The horse head really came out nice.

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

Well done, Clinton. Those look very nice.

Very nice set. Impressed with the horse head also. I will have to try it
