Forging the Tenon


Recommended Posts

Here is what I ended up making last night..

I want to finish my guillotine and get dies made, but this was the quick solution for now. I used it to put a few tenons on some basket twists I had done prior, then attach a base and top for an OK candle stick. The product was quick and dirty because it was more of a proof of concept, but it worked well enough for putting on small tenons. I didn't butcher in or set the shoulder, just swaged it down through the different sizes then cleaned with the monkey tool. I think it would have worked better to set in the shoulder, but it still worked fine and set solidly..
