Magnifying glass

Featured Replies

Something a bit different. I didn't have much time for blacksmithing but this is also heated in the forge and hammered on an anvil.

First a couple magnifying glasses for about a two dollars.

Now the glass is very sensitive, just by trying to adjust it by hand it chipped, so I gave up and formed around the glass itself.

Then some small bits I don’t have pictures how I made them but you get the idea.

So the handle. Ruff shaping and since I don’t have a lathe I shape it on the drill.
