Maurice Gedney Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I am relatively new to blacksmithing and wanted to try and make a scraper to help move coke around my forge.Should i bend the scraping part back on itself so the handle is from the centre or leave it to one side?

arkie Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I just took a two-foot long piece of 3/8" rebar, flattened one end about 4-5", bent it in a 90 deg. elbow at the end of the flat part, bent the hand end over double for a handle, and been using it for years. I have another made from 1/2" rebar and a bit longer to use when the fire is burning high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Whatever moves your coke. Make what is comfortable to your hand and does the job. Don't think anyone will criticise the style of your coke scraper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
