Forging Carver Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Today I made my first set of J hooks. The first hook had a failed attempt on the curly cew but the second hook was successful! They have both been wire brushed then polished with 00 steel wool. If I am going to leave these hooks how they are, should i put some type of wax on them? Also should i use the steel wool before or after wax is applied? Lastly, is 00 too course or should I go to 000 or 0000 steel wool, or if I am supposed to use a variety? Feel free to comment on the hooks and give any tips and tricks to making them and how I can improve my next hooks. Thanks Edited September 6, 2015 by Forging Carver Better Pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimsShip Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 They look great for a first try!You should try and give yourself a bit more length on the nail end to give it some stabitlty in the wall. (You don't want it pulling out!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
