Trying my hand at blacksmithing!

[Eagleman]

Inspirational stuff. They look great and functional too.

Very impressive work considering you've only just started!
Um, do you have wheels on your luggage?

 

[TinkyPete]

Great work there Hamish, glad you are enjoying the journey

 

[Albus Culter]

Very nice work. Love the pot hooks especially and a very tidy buckle as that looks complicated to do.

 

[realearner]

When you have talent, which you obviously do I believe you can do almost any craft and do it well.
So carry on and show us more.

 

[HHazeldean]

Wow Hamish they're exceptional, very nice work, an obvious talent there!

 

[Whittler Kev]

OMG well and truly bitten

Have you had any sparklers yet? I once spent ages fashioning a leaf on a poker handle only to leave it in the coals a little too long. When I pulled it out it was a firework.

I have been waiting for this thread .
Well done mate , I knew that with your eye for detail and craftsmanship .
You would be just as quality with a forge and hammer .
How did you find the twists I've struggled so far but mine where deliberately tighter wound .
Its good to see you enjoyed the time on the forge .

 

[greensurfingbear]

Cracking stuff mate. Jealous as I'd love to give metal bashing a go. IMO you're a craftsman to keep an eye on

typing on a phone is not easy! to try and answer questions I made a few sparkles aye! I soon learned to be wary. The twists I found okay if I worked fast but they are hard! I made a third pot hook last night which has a cool twist in it I shall try and upload a picture if possible

 

[RonW]

Where are you now?

 

[titanius anglesmith]
