#doorbolt

Current status of the door bolt I’m working on. The little detail on the top is braised and the spring on the bottom is forged welded. I spent more time trying to square everything up than I expected but I also learned a few tricks in the process so it’s a wash. #javosironworks #doorbolt #door #bolt #forged #steel #hot #iron #blacksmith #workshop #tools #video #handmade #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lOumqAnoS/?igshid=1hk34ivq8y7ss

Busy day yesterday so I was only able to sneak out to the shop for a short bit. I worked on the clips that will eventually hold the door bolt in place. Tricky but fun little pieces to forge. #javosironworks #doorbolt #door #hardware #forged #blacksmith #blacksmithing #steel #details #handmade #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yHB_Fgt27/?igshid=7lf689yh7np4

Decided I wanted to restore and use the old door bolt I picked up a few weeks ago. I gently cut the old plate off the bolt so I could understand how it was built back in the day. I cut and fit a few of the new pieces that are needed. It's challenging to get everything aligned but I think I have a good start so far. #javosironworks #restore #oldiron #doorhardware #ironwork #blacksmith #forged #doorbolt #antique #craftsman #handmade #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq91TYhDM9G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1grdaby3vw05p

One last post on the bolt. I finished the piece with some gun blue and then waxed and buffed everything. Mounted everything on a board so I can easily display it all. Really happy with the way it all turned out. And it actually works which is a nice bonus. #javosironworks #doorhardware #doorbolt #antique #restore #vintage #forged #filed #metalwork #blacksmith #blacksmithing #anvil #tools #handcrafted #handmade #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrNT_wlDDm1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11r61tpfhkzes

More progress on the door bolt restore project. Peened over all the tabs so now everything is secured in place. Next step is some clean up on the surface where I banged it up when working the peen and then add the patina. #javosironworks #latch #doorbolt #restore #antique #vintage #blacksmithingtools #blacksmith #hammer #peen #tools #handmade #madeinminnesota #forged (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrKzUAFDbnO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17lrc7kgv8ro4
