I Forge Iron

small scale fun


Recommended Posts

Thanks, y'all. I can totally realate to the "file zone". I actually think filing is often more therapeutic than forging. ..for me, at least. I hadn't worked with brass much, so I was kinda suprised that it wasn't easier to file. Super easy to sand, though. 

Oh yeah, I guess that would be a drill, files, and sand paper.:)

did these little key chains today. forged from 1/2x1/8" flat. the brass leaf is from 3/8" round, and the other one that is stainless is from a piece a little thicker than 1/4" round.

Thought I would try a couple of miniature ram's heads for today's demo. They made quite good little keyrings. The three on the right are from 6mm square bar and the other two are 8mm. They were popular with visitors and I think I'll do more, but make the 8mm a standard. Fun stuff.

Thanks Al. I found them more difficult than a normal-sized ram's head. You have to be very careful not to burn those little horns off. I didn't mention the one that finished up in the bottom of the quench bucket with one horn and a bent nose.
