SpankySmith Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 ..and I am SO stealing that drying rack concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 ..and I am SO stealing that drying rack concept Hehe, my pleasure. It was very conincidental build - all those parts was lying in 5 feet radius so I just took them and put 'em together. Although one suggestion: try to keep a bit more space between the pieces. (This stands only if want to use it as spraying rack, too.) Last layer goes on in 1,5 hour! Greetings Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Glad to hear you got it done. I managed to come up with a decent way of making the fobs, but they are just horrible in the pocket no matter how you try to shape it. And making 100 of them in a timely fashion so you're not losing money was just impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 And the last pictures: The package arrives to the customers: That's how they are being represented today on the show (the project is bicycle related hence the hanging device): And the final summary: 101 pieces of key fobs + 3 pieces of prototypes 35 working hours of mine + one work day of the striker 4,5 m 30x5 mm flat MS stock 5 cutting disc for the angle grinder, 1 wirewheel, 1 drill bit, 2 scrap hammerheads, ~ 150 ml of lacquer spray, ~ 20 kg coal IF I get payed, (I work with these guys, so they can't get off), I try and find a flypress :) Thanks for everyone once again - you made this job achievable and more fun as it would have been...

ThomasPowers Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 With a flypress you can start selling the idea to other companies---choosing ones with easy logos to start... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 And the happy ending: I invested the money I got for the fobs into these (ok, I had to add a little plus to get them) unknown 200 kg/440 lbs german pattern anvil AE & Co 8 ton flypress without its arm Thank you all for your very kind and useful help! The story continues at the anvils and flypresses sections... :) Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Fantastic. There's nothing more satisfying than being able to use your smithing skills to pay for more smithing tools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well done Gergely. It's really nice when your craft pays it's own way but when it lets you buy tools. SWEET! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hi Guys, Yes, I liked it reaally much. Now I somehow have to make more money to maintain the addiction :D ! And this anvil is AWESOME!! I installed it high, it's like I'd have a table to forge on it... I want to call it "the Newman anvil", some here would know why... :) Greetings Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
