matthew2riches Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I am just thinking of a little range to take to a selection of county shows, traditional shows and craft fairs this year. I have already got fire pokers, candle holders, banana hooks, hand held garden hoes, garden dibber, garden line (for sowing straight rows), bottle openers, towel rings (screws to wall or cupboard to hold towel), solid wooden chopping boards with forged handle as well as a larger fireside log holder. What other successes to people have? I'll pop some pics up when I get round to finishing the items. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything Mac Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 cheese slicers that look like a mouse. Yes. Saw these a while ago and thought they were pretty awesome. Steak flippers are a tough one as no one here seems to have any clue what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel OF Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 A back scratcher, I could do with one right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomhw Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Try belt buckels. All kinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew2riches Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Here we have a few of the square fire pokers I made. First one is lacquered steel, middle is brassed finish and right is satin black. And then a camping tripod... And an extended camping tripod...

Nick Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Steak flippers are a tough one as no one here seems to have any clue what they are. But once you explain what they are it's like a light goes on. I had pretty good luck with them, at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Blythin Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 ...hand held garden hoes, garden dibber, garden line (for sowing straight rows)... Do you happen to have any photos of these items? I belong to our local horticultural society, and am trying to think of gardening-related things I can make and donate as door prizes for our monthly meetings.

matthew2riches Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 A few pan/ utensil racks. Paint was still wet. Both fishtail and pointed end designs..... They will be supplied with stainless steel butchers hooks to compliment the black and a few black slotted screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew2riches Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 how is the cheese wire tightened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciladog Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 how is the cheese wire tightened? Put the tines under tension with a clamp or vise and tie the wire as tight as you can. When you release the tines the wire will be tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester5731 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 ciladog, what type of wire do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poundhound Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 looks like stainless steel, and i know that stainless is used in other cooking instruments so it should be safe for food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewayforge Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 You can use Guitar Strings for the cheese slicer wire, also tie it and tap it to seperate the tines, tightening the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
