July 1, 20187 yr Das, -that was the same question rise in my head after seeing this fantastic shop on the picture comparing to the pics from the past. With some little patience he will bevel & deburr and even paint the stuff. Then its definitely time to visit the doctor . What did I do in the shop? –after the emotional happenings past week –nothing Set up the swimming pool to please the lady’s and give them the chance to relax. Das, JHCC, Slag, Frosty, Mark, Thanks for the tips and encouraging words. Short update about the situation. After the garage fire, I prayed-asked to Saint Eloy (and use a little bit of blacksmith magic ) to punish the sinners. Since yesterday I know he heard me. Was wondering wye his family car is missing all night since the last 1 ½ weeks. His wife moved in to here mothers home to take care of her (93 y/o) after she has repeatedly refused to move to the/an retirement home. So gents, your right is only a question of patience and believe . Wish all of you a very nice work/forging week, Cheers Hans
July 1, 20187 yr Don’t freak out, guys; things look a lot cleaner in black and white than they do in person. Plus, my tool table is still a disaster:
July 1, 20187 yr JLP that is very clean and looks amazing! 58er I don't sail, but you've got me wanting one now. Looking very good!
July 2, 20187 yr Jennifer, excellent example that everything hand forged does not have to look like it was burned up and beat to death. Al

July 2, 20187 yr I moved the shop, well the forge, anvil and stand......from the demo field back home to ID's 'Emporium of Wonders and Fantasmagoria'.
July 3, 20187 yr Thanks all you guys.. Was a fun project.. Hans sorry to hear about the shop.. ??? 58er, nice wheel.. STuds for the main handles?
July 4, 20187 yr I did some grinding today and got a couple things ready for quench and tempering tomorrow.
July 4, 20187 yr Got three small dishes made up, as well as a bunch of hooks. Next on the list.... the tool cart!
July 4, 20187 yr I really like the cleanness of your dishes, Vaughn. So smooth texture, so eye-pleasingly round shapes... Bests: Gergely

July 4, 20187 yr Found this sweet roller in the factory trash bin last autumn and finally got around to shape it into an anvil. After flap wheeling the top I noticed the axle is a separate piece held in place by friction. Well, I wasn't planning to do any heavy sledging on this one. I guess it will serve me well until I find an affordable, purpose-built anvil... Still a little stumped(teehee!) on how should I mount the anvil.
July 4, 20187 yr I finished forging the legs for a big firepit. My first proper forging project complete! Couple more photos in my thread here.
July 4, 20187 yr Jon, with the legs at that angle did you do a load test to see if they will bend ----- before it is loaded own with flaming logs?
July 4, 20187 yr Finished a pair of slot jaw tongs, a pair of scrolling tongs, and a small hook. Tongs are from pre-cut, commercially available blanks (hangs head in shame).
