I Forge Iron

Twisting wrench.


Recommended Posts

One part forging, one part welding.....

I still have to forge the one end out to make a loop for hanging, but I'm pretty happy with it as it stands.

Started with a 22" length of 1/2" square bar for the center piece and 3" lengths for the barbs.  Spaced the barbs off with pieces of scrap so I'd be close to where I needed when I was all done.  Welded it up and then hit the welds with the grinder.

I forgot to measure things once I'd rounded off the handles, but I probably only stretched it an inch, if that.  The forging was minimal and just to make the handles more comfortable.  I might do more later, taking them to full round when I hammer in the loop...IMG_6264.thumb.jpg.63b7a1a221f220be0318a1e70055b134.jpg

Overall, it was a fun project.  Doing a few test pieces, I think I'll be very happy to replace the adjustable wrenches I have been twisting with!
