ripleycopa Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Every blacksmith needs a poker with which to tend the fire pot. It can be traditional or unadorned and merely practical. But I wanted one with character. So I forged out of a piece of 3/4 inch square stock a Dragon Headed, modified pineapple twist handled poker. It does the trick.

ripleycopa Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 One of the posts I received on the Blacksmith for Beginners Facebook page was that my "modified pineapple twist" was actually a "thorn twist". I had not heard the term before but it seem appropriate. It is just a pineapple twist without scoring any lines with a chisel or hot cut.

Frosty Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Really nice fire tool. It's nice to see folk with some style. The more examples I see the more I'm liking pineapple twists without incised faces. Is there a name for the twist? Well done. Frosty The Lucky.
