johnnyd428 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Might not be exciting to anyone else but I'm pretty happy about it. Even made me a little handy tool to make bending them go a lot easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Olson Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I love your handy little bending tool. You say the hooks might not be exciting but I see someone in the shop having fun being a blacksmith making something nice and thats what its all about!

Frazer Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Very nice! One thing I like to do is take a round punch a little over-sized for the hole and add a countersink. While not necessary it's just a nice little touch to have the screw mount flush. Still, they look real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masonred Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Nice bending tool and hooks look uniform. I used to make a dozen to get 3 the same size. Are you lucky or good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnut Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Nice work. Very blacksmitherly of you to make your own bending forks. I've never seen any quite that small. I might try to forge a small bending fork if it ever cools down enough for me to light the forge. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Nicely done on both counts, the hooks are attractive and should be marketable, good for the tool cookie jar. Your bending fork is really well done, a tool to keep in my adapt and adopt file. I like the meme and looked at the generator site. How invasive is is the site? I'm getting pretty tired of trying something out and not being able to get rid of them if I don't want it. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyd428 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 I actually pirated the meme, search engine copy. So I didn't use the site itself. Like you I dont like the invasive sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'd like my own text but I can photoshop that. Hmmmm. Nope, cant figure that out, F1 lists all the wonderful things you can do and all the things you should consider first but not a word about how to put text on a graphic. I found a graphic and would like to put text over it like you did. Is THAT so darned hard? Do I really have to sift through 30+ menus, all with a different name? This used to be easy. I feel so stupid sometimes. I'm probably too frustrated and angry to be fit company for a while. Watched the dragon splashdown, Bob and Doug are about to be decanted. Frosty The Lucky.
