No offense to the fella Kev' but that accent was making me chuckle instead of listening to what he had to say. Nice that your trivet got such a good mention though. Top job mate.

Hi Whittler Kev,
This is the first forum I have joined so apologies if I get things a bit wrong..... alert!
Hopefully you are still making all the great pieces of equipment? If so, could you let me know please how to order a trivet from you.
Cheers,
Mike

No probs. I'll get one made up later in the week and then let you know how to pay

Hi Kev,
I just thought that I didn't confirm to you the preferred payment method for the trivet? Did you want to PM me with details?

Cheers
Mike

Brill. I'm sorry but I've not been in the forge this week as the dreaded Arthritis has meant I spent one day on crutches and the next suffering for doing that (wrist and shoulder joints swollen.) Been just work and sitting about the rest of the time
As soon as I can use the hammer again I'll get outside and make some stuff up.
Shouldn't be very long now as usually only gets too bad when the temperature or air moisture content :sun: has drastic changes......like this last month dagnabit :tapedshut

Hey Kev, I will want one off you, but at the end of Feb (gotta wait for payday) Also, do you still do the lanten hangers? (pretty sure it was you that did them)

No sweat. What do the Lantern Hangers look like? Where they a hook to hang them on or a hook with a spike on at 90 degrees to hammer them in? Got a picci?

 

[nunzionuk]

I believe they was like the pot hangers, but longer? as to support the weight of a tilley lantern. Maybe it wasnt you?

Long spiked pole with a thread at one end, that they hanger screwed onto?

 

[Whittler Kev]

I've done something like a shepards crook (daughters gardens full of them as flower hanging basket holders
Normally don't stand this upright

or have a look here or here

As long as it will hold the weight of a lantern, and be stable, that's all that really counts.

No problem Kev, no rush. I have a close friend with Psoriatic Arthritis and totally understand how this knocks her sideways for weeks on end sometimes. I hope you feel better soon.

Are you hanging them from branches, knocking the hanger into the trunk or should they be self supporting like my Shepard crook ones?

Self supporting, I normally just have the lantern on the floor or on a log, but want it up higher up where the kids might see it.

Got back in the forge today (more *~x@*-/? than sense SWMBO reckons) but got most of the trivets completed. I should get the legs on tomorrow and then they will be ready to oil and post out ​

 

[Whittler Kev]

All made up
I made a couple of swan strikers as well

and a left handed crook knife

from a new supplier and steel grade so I'll be interested to see how the customer rates it

 

[Whittler Kev]

1st trivet posted out today. Other goes out on Monday

 

[Whittler Kev]

Picked this up from the post office this morning, its great. Thanks very much, and I will keep you updated for the lantern hanger.

Thanks for letting me know it arrived safely. Glad you like it

Hi I'd be very intereted in one of the folding trivets if they are still available. Could you confirm how I go about ordering one? Thanks!

 

[nunzionuk]

I can highly recommend this, after using it all summer it still is working as expected, just needs some rubbing down and oiling for storage.. in a month or so..

 

[Whittler Kev]

Just PM me if you want it oiled (which is what most people want) or sprayed with black heat paint (£2 extra) and I'll get you onw made up
