this old blacksmith Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Instructor at the guild made one which was totally beautiful. So I had to try to make one myself. It's a lot harder to work with the smaller pieces of metal. Mines not half as nice as the instructors, but I still liked the end result. Material list 3 and one half old fashioned concrete nails and after I burnt the first six up of course. It's easy to lose them in the fire one slip of the tongs and there gone.

Rob Browne Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Impressive. Not sure I would take on welding such fine bitds of metal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilwarblacksmith Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Did you use concrete nails or #16 horseshoe nails? I've seen Bill make them with the horseshoe nails. He also does the heart pendant with them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trollhammer Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I use both concrete and horseshoe nails, but I usually just braze them together...I like the contrast of shiny steel against the brass. I'm gonna have to try that though, looks good. Mickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
