Before Cyclone Alfred, I packed up a lot of the blacksmithing area downstairs to avoid various bits and pieces becoming projectiles in the predicted winds. Since it's quite damp today, I figured it was a good time to put everything back in order and forge out a simple starter project to get back in the swing of things.
Thus, this S-Hook came in to being from a cut-off of 10mm reo (rebar).

The drive to Pope Valley is especially beautiful in the spring. Just be sure the weather will be good before you go.

Although the #bridge closure would have been inconvenient, I had a look at what this #forge / #blacksmith makes and its not that large/heavy items (vehicles over 7 500 kg are forbidden from the bridge anyway) - I do wonder if it was a coincidence his business had trade decline and the real reason is even relatively middle class folk are skint, and simply can't afford artisan forged garden ornaments? #Suffolk #roads #transport
A couple small keyracks, Live edge Ash for the larger and a small piece of reclaimed teak from broken furniture. Hooks are forged and twisted Horseshoe nails

Back in 2018, I made this very handy mini egg-flip. And for what it was designed to do (flip eggs, move biscuits off trays, etc) it excelled.
However, youngest child has been using it to fry steaks and pressing down on the steak in the process, so the thin shank glued in to a turned wooden handle was a weak point. The wood broke.
Rather than just make another handle with the same problem, I set about fixing the attachment point.
I took some engineering grade stainless bar, and forged down a small part of it and formed a cone, then welded that to the egg-flip shank. The existing wooden handle fits inside beautifully. I'm now waiting for the epoxy holding it in there to set before it can go back in service.
They did SO GOOD! And I'm endlessly proud of them! 
Finally got around to making a mini-pry bar for our new team member at work. These are great for tearing down Dell boxes, prying covers of things, etc.
Neu ist es nicht wirklich, ich möchte einer meiner Arbeiten zeigen.
Möchte hier ein bisschen Werbung machen für dieses schöne Handwerker.

I bought this tool chest last week. It was someone's office and toolbox for decades. No tools, but a couple nice things inside. It's 36"w, 24"h, and 12" d.

Blacksmith: Characters with this talent will always find work, and like medics, are often spared when taken prisoner as their services are in such high demand. They are often powerfully built, able to endure long hours at their craft, and produce remarkable, highly valued items.
It wasn’t disgusting outside this morning, so I fired up the forge and knocked out four small key hooks, and prepared a back board for them (now drying).
I need somewhere to put the car keys I don’t need to carry anymore (main car has a key on my phone).
