LastRonin Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I went to my first ever blacksmith group forge meeting. Met some great people, learned a lot and made the following items (pictures below): 2 nails 2 matching(sorta, they're about an 1/8" off in length :( ) brass brushed wall nail hook leaf tipped wall nail hook leaf tipped hanging hook (fits a pot rack we have in our kitchen) Both leaves brushed with brass wire brush. All hooks were rubbed warm with beeswax. I had so much fun and learned so much. If I hadn't been hooked before... making these hooks have guarranteed it. I left all but the end hanging leaf hook with them for them to sell at an event they'll be demonstrating at next weekend. http://www.iforgeiron.com/uploads/gallery/category_23/gallery_28530_23_135807.jpghttp://www.iforgeiron.com/uploads/gallery/category_23/gallery_28530_23_3858.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looks good Ken, nice clean tappers too. Sorry I missed it. The invite still holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 They look very nice! I would suggest closing the loop on your rat tails though... they don't tangle or catch that way. Just keep rolling the scroll till the circle is closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postleg Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looks great. Just have to ask what is the thing on the side of the anvil about 1/2 way down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastRonin Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Had to pull the pic up to see. It wasn't my anvil. But upon looking at the pic, it's a magnet. It has a bunch of metal bits and such stuck to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman50 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Great job on those hooks, like them and the leaves as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
