Wayne Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I have not had chance to get down to my shop since christmas, but here is something I managed to finish and deliver just before... Quote
jimbob Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 those are nice...they come with a spit ...are the hooks forged welded on or cut and rolled up? Quote
Wayne Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 All the hooks are forge welded together then fixed to the main uprights by the two collars top and bottom. I copied the ones in 'Antique iron' survey of American and English forms by schiffer publishing. Quote
dablacksmith Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 real nice ... dont see many andirons of firedoge made anymore.. Quote
David Einhorn Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Very nice. I like them so much that I ordered the book. Quote
petere76 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Nice work. On the basket, did they use the baskets for anything or is it just deocrative. I got the meat roasting part ok, not sure of the basket though. Peter Quote
Bentiron1946 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I think that the baskets are for warming your wine or rum. Nice for a cold winters day. Quote
John B Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Baskets also used to hold basting fluids Quote
Frosty Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Very nice. Makes a guy wish we had a fire place instead of a stove. Frosty Quote
Wayne Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 Thanks for the kind words, I am pleased how the baskets went together - though I cheated slightly? when putting the ring in place by tack welding at two points to hold the ring for the fire welds. Quote
