Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hey fellows, I just wanted to share a little project of mine. Today I forged a spoon to apply borax or sand on workpieces prior to forgewelding. Handforged out of 5/8" round mild steel.

Cdworks Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 how do you get it so round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Cool. I like the way yours looks. Seeing it sitting on it's own made me think that the next time I make one I could do it free standing with the bowl of the spoon lowered so it could stand on it's own and have flux in it.

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 how do you get it so round? You want to isolate a sqare piece of steel first. If you want it round flatten it a little bit, then make it round and flatten it further. If you want an egg shaped spoon you need to taper that piece. Here is a little sketch of how I started it: Good luck and have fun trying it! Yours - Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
