Some hooks needed forging, so while the fire was lit I decided to make a new punch for knocking in the countersink divots. Ā Thereās a great deal of satisfaction in making your own tools -- itās the blacksmith way!

Ask and you shall receive. Ā In this case, a customer said they needed some hooks to hold big stuff. Ā They wanted them toĀ ālook forgedā and be strong enough to handle a passel of kids -- creatures known for breaking things that should be unbreakable.
So, a couple hours of steady hammering... and the hooks were finished. Ā Now theyāre on the way to their new home in Florida and we can only hope that they survive whatever the kids throw at them!
Forty hooks finished, and now I get to start working on a dish.
Everyone likes to think blacksmithing is full of glorious builds like we can see in a lot of the pictures Iāve posted here. Ā But, no, mostly you do repetitive production work to keep the lights on.
Even in olden times, very few smiths were able to step away from production work to do the grand things we consider relics today. Ā For that, they needed a wealthy patron who didnāt mind spending crazy money toĀ āone upā the neighbors. Ā The Italian Renaissance was driven by this. Ā And, amazingly, this creativity then bled over into average society because it fostered new techniques and technologies. If youāve ever used a cast iron skillet, you can thank the wealthy patrons of the English blacksmiths back in the day. Ā It was their drive for more complicated ironwork that led to the streamlining of cast iron manufacture, making it economical enough for the masses. Ā Weird how things are connected like that when it doesnāt seem like they should be!

Little details make a big difference. Ā The nested scroll on the one end makes for a nice touch without beingĀ ātoo muchā. Ā Add in a groove on the other end, and you get something thatās obviously made by hand and not mass-produced.
Big hooks to hold a big oar. Ā Itās always surprising to see what folks can come up with. Ā If itās not a pitchfork, itās an ox yoke. Ā If itās not an ox yoke, itās a 14-foot oar.
Regardless, Iām happy to pitch in. Ā This time, I opted to split and splay the ends so thereās be a bit more visual interest. Ā
Another happy customer -- thereās nothing better!
I just got an email with some pictures of the hooks up and working. Ā The customer is happy, his wife is happy, so you can imagine that Iām happy.
And itās a pretty oar, too. Ā Fourteen feet long and Iām sure it has a thousand stories it could tell.
