jlpservicesinc Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Had to test out some new welding flux..Made this from 3/8sq and 1/4" sq.. Few S hooks and nails thrown in for the fun of it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Test looks successful to me. Nice wall hook. Does it hang straight on the single screw with say one heavy coat on one side? I like the looks of a single screw but they tend to go a little shifty on me. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty The Lucky. to correct this it just get another nail in the crotch at the split.. there is another nail under the group of S hooks.. Yes it was successful..

Daswulf Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah I'll keep trying here and there when I can. lessons sound like the ticket. I know it's not my forge because a friend forge welded in it when her was here. I've read on it I just dont practice enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tube or else where a few years ago.. Also one on tong making.. Really a lesson is best. I gave a lesson to a guy at the last NEB meet and he got his first forge weld under his belt..

I look forward to when I can. the video is crappily done.. I did it a few years ago to show an online group how to make chain.. Really the best part is the very beginning and the very end where I test the chain I just made.. There is/was actually 2 videos the 2nd one was better.. I actually took off over 10 years from the blacksmithing.. Didn't touch a hammer or anything so the skill set is only now starting to come back.. At this point I have forgotten more than I know. Getting the new trailer up and running will allow for me to have somewhere to work till the shop is up.. anyhow, i"ll make a new video and post it. We'll get you something else to watch..
