Very impressive work for a newb !

You might be a "natural" ?

What would you be spending that propane money on if you weren't having fun doing these ?

What makes you think he is a newb? My impression is he has been doing metal work & forging for quite a while. He makes good quality picks. While his crevice scraper is a work of art it seems quite elaborate for a simple tool. Nice work though Dave.

I also have fun making other projects in the forge, mind you I'm still learning and have only been hammering hot metal in the forge for a few months really, but I enjoy it, and it's fun and it fills in time between detecting trips. 😀

Just a couple of the project I have finished

This is forged from a Railroad spike

and this from another Railroad spike

Why did I say newb ?

Dave told us in the first sentence in this post.(which has more of his sweet lookin' creations) 

I agree Dave has skills..  One of those "naturals" no doubt !   😎

I'm wondering what he'll be making after 20 years of experience ? 🤔

Please don't tell us you learned on U toob ! 😉

It's true, I have worked with metal most of my life, well a fair bit of it anyway, I'm a boilermaker by trade, I think it's now called "engineering fabrication" or something.

I have only much more recently been forging metal using an LPG gas forge which I built, so in a sense yes a newby at this Blacksmith stuff for sure, but a guy that has been a Blacksmith for most of his life is helping me with how to do things and what works and what don't

I made a fireplace tool stand along with fireplace tools which I also made, so I am trying to made all kind of things, most seem to work out ok, it maybe beginners luck. 

finished with a coating of bees wax while hot to give the steel some rust protection

sitting in the workshop cleaned up

the three fireplace tools, and I still need to make the broom tool

You have bragging rights and the pics do it for you too !

thanks D4G, yes any of those handles on the fireplace tools could be used on the crevice tools also.

cheers dave
