ThomasPowers Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'm not a fan of the square transition of the 2nd and 3rd one down but the bottom two makes me wonder about a modification to make the back end a spike---like 1/2 an arrow head to be both poker and puller.

Yes when the bottom two are used as a puller they do tend to slip the arrow point would solve that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I like 'em all. All different. Stylish. 40 degree C heat up here too, Stan, but high humidity as well. Storm season. You might not need pokers for a log fire in the home right now, but hey .. summer barbecues ... gotta keep the barby fire under control!

The last two are odd designs to me on the poker side but if they work, as you said they do, then I like em. I do want to say your forge welds all look great. It's something I have yet to accomplish. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. Thanks Daswulf, but I have to say that those joins are stick welded then re forged ,with a small gas forge I find it easier and quicker. Cheers.
