brickman Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 These are my first hooks i banged out. I really enjoy the process of making them and both have already been put to use around my house. I think they turned out alright for my first projects, I'm currently working on more hooks, and a bearded axe i'm making from a 2.5lb ball peen hammer head. I know these aren't the most exciting projects but thought i would show them off and get some critique, i'll get some progress pictures put together of the axe i'm making and that will be my first blade =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will W. Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I think they look great! Nice work. I, personally, would have scrolled the tips a little bit more, but that's just personal preference, not a critique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel OF Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 A very good start indeed! Far better than my first hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Nice work, better than my first hooks by a long shot. Have you looked at the IFI section about twists? About the only thing could be better would be two, Counter Sunk, screw holes. However counter sinking them is more a matter of taste and fastener preference. Two screw holes on the other hand makes wall hooks much more stable, you don't want the hook to turn when taking a nice coat off you know. Well done. Frosty The Lucky.

BlasterJoe Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Wow, those are really good. I agree with the tighter scrolling on the ends just so it it doesn't catch on what ever your hanging up. Can't wait to see your next few projects if that's your first try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
