alexandr Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Today is Victory Day in Russia, we will rest for 4 days. But tomorrow I will be back at work. Finished the candlestick, it remains to send to the customer. In the workshop, as usual, there is not enough space, although I work alone.

Goods Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Alexandr, those lamps are beautiful. Any chance you could post a picture showing more detail of the lower portion of the post. I’m very intrigued by the design! -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBones Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I would bet money that Alexanders scrap pile looks better than anything i can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a handle on a new hammer (r): And made a leaf to try it (and a flea market brass brush) out: Made another knitting bowl (a paid commission, for variety’s sake): Also prototyped a universal tong clip (described HERE) and finished up a kindling chopper that I started a couple of years ago, mislaid, and just found last week: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donniev Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Made my wife a necklace holder today...I see quite a few flaws and improvements I could make on a 2nd try but it stands up fine and will serve it's purpose well...plus she likes it so I guess I passed my test!

VainEnd84 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Didn't have a whole lot of time in the shop today but I had a lot of fun forging my first spoon as part of the pub spoon challenge. I also forged my first flint striker from an old broken file, now all I need is to find some flint and try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Mr. Donniev, Beautiful design, great job. But I have one concern. That is the open hook. Could it catch something or someone? It is easy enough to close the scroll. Just sayyin. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Had a young man visit on our members day, and after he was watching what was going off, we let him have a play, Shown him what to do, and this is what he made, Pretty good I think for a first attempt.

John B Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Don't know about that, all I can do is show them, and then it's up to themself, maybe beginners luck has something to do with it, or just a natural talent, in his favour he did listen, and had the desire. I think he may have got the start of "the addiction" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBones Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Finished a coat rack i started this weekend for my daughter. Juts had to screw it down to the board after staining the wood late last night. Had a pretty bad day so after i just sat down opened a beer and turned on Dr.John.

A.R. Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Didn’t do any forging today but made this with my daughter. She was having trouble coming up a with a science experiment so we made a few electromagnets. We made one from a digging bar with 20 wraps of copper and another from a crowbar with 60 wraps and a heavy duty battery charger. We went through different settings 2,10,20 amps etc and SHE noticed the magnet was stronger on the end where the bar was thicker. Being a Lineman I somewhat expected this result. Well we submitted her project and I’m not one to leave well enough alone and knew we could do better. This was Saturday and just today I thought of using my anvil as our iron core, 146 lbs of Swedish steel works awesome and now sports a new copper dress. Science experiment a success. in the second pic the tongs are falling because the charger timed out. 40 amp setting. Do o dare try 225 amps? I want to but... Edited May 15, 2019 by A.R.

JHCC Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 If only glowing steel weren’t non-magnetic, you would have invented a brand new type of hold-down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
