So having previously struggled making dice with my old, tired, tongs that were too big for the task at hand I decided I needed to make some more of varying shapes and sizes for the tasks at hand and seeing as the inspiration/need for this came from the dice and its something I intend on making more of I figured I'd try these first. As you can see above I started with an old coil spring, roughly straitened it and then cut to length and finished up the straitening before creating a taper and… Dice, Metal Working, Door Handles, It Is Finished, Shapes, Photo And Video, Create, Spring, How To Make

Heading to on Saturday to catch a show with some friends but knew I'd be stopping into (because why wouldn't you!) And figured seeing as I'm making tonight I'd knock one up for them.

Spent a weekend with the fantastic @paulgilbert_blacksmith at his forge in Devon getting a refresher on things I had learned before (but hadn't done since) aswell as learning many new techniques, tricks and methods, pictures of which will follow in due course. But not only did I walk away with a far better understanding of #blacksmithing but I also acquired this great "little" #flypress from Paul, a brilliant addition to the workshop although I don't fancy moving it on my own again in a…

Finally, after months of trying to find the time to clear out, move into and set up the shop I've been able to fire up the forge for the very first time! I couldn't be happier with the way everything has come together, this smile will not be leaving my face for a very long time. As it was only a first firing and its been almost 5 months since I last moved metal I only knocked up a couple of basic pokers, the first showing how long it's been since I last worked a forge the second showing that…

Finally got to the point where I can move these in and start moving some metal. Time in the shop is still more illusive than I'd like but right now I'm smiling more than I care to admit. Hope y'all are having as good a weekend as I am. Metal Working, Canning, Photo And Video, Shop, Instagram, Home Decor, Decoration Home, Metalworking, Room Decor

FINALLY managed to get into the #workshop today, the day-job has unfortunately kept me away hence the lack of updates but a little free time has meant I've been able get some materials in there and start sorting things out. It's a long way from being ready but it's good to finally get things moving along. Free Time, Sorting, Metal Working, Workshop, Photo And Video, Instagram, Atelier, Metalworking, Work Shop Garage
