Greenbeast Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Might have to steal the idea of rivetted legs and arms for my next one, fast track indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastRonin Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I like it too. Once I get my setup going, I believe this will definitely be on my 'projects to try list'. One question... do you think if I used brass or copper rivets, that they would be strong enough? I love the look of contrasting metals.

yesteryearforge Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 I would think that they would be plenty strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck in Ms Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That looks great, if you don't mind, how did you go about fastening the broom to the handle. I need to make a set with a broom but was planning to use a wisk broom.Again very clean work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Chuck That is a wisk broom Forged the handle down to about 3/8 dia drilled a hole in the broom and glued the wisk broom to it with epoxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeman Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That is a fine looking set of fire tools you've created! Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck in Ms Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Well who knew there was a little wooden handle under that shiny cap on a wisk broom? I guess you are never to old to learn after all. Thank you again YYF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
