Six fairly similar coat rack hooks fresh from the forge. The two on the left had a wee mishap whereby the knobs on one end broke off, so they became curls.

I wish I had the $ to build a new forge & foundry.

I've a bronze ritual dagger clinking around in my head that needs to be made

Someone needs to remind me that this work is easier in bigger stock. This 1/4" fussiness is no good. But it's a collar and this little test grille is getting there.

Four scrolls in a frame. Many collars left to make.

Coat rack replacement project has begun. This is the first of hopefully six very similar hooks. The first picture shows the starting stock next to it.

Another angle of the hook. The single punched screw hole can be seen. A smaller hole for a stabilising nail will be drilled below it.

Damp weekend here, so I fired up the forge and attempted to make 4 identical small hooks.

Not quite, was the result, but good enough for the intended purpose.

That purpose being a small hook rack to hang bungee tie-down cables from at work, so they don't end up lost somewhere in our workroom.

Four small metal hooks on a pine backing. They are slightly shiny, having been partially sanded.

I needed a short 7mm spanner at work. We don’t have any at work and I don’t seem to have any at home, so I made one.

It’s s bit rough, but I think it’ll do the job (undoing 7mm nuts deep inside a robotic book scanner).

It’s #MythologyMonday, and I have time to post. Here is a Finnish folktale that obviously comes from the same sources as the Kalevala. #Blacksmith

“Ilmarinen the Smith Goes Courting”

According to Danish folklore, a troll blacksmith once lived inside one of the hills on the lands of Nyegaard. Anyone who left some iron (plus a shilling for payment) next to the hill overnight would find a finished product waiting for them the next morning.

I had a little cast aluminium tool to press buttons, open certain door handles and the like, but due to abuse, it broke.

So I made a new one, out of steel. It doesn’t have the integrated bottle-opener like the last one, but I have one of those on my keys.

#blacksmith

The new forged steel tool. It has a ring at one end, with a wrapped tail. The rest of the tool is a T shaped, with the upper left of the T having a curly-q on the tip.
