Mantel Stocking Hook

Blacksmithing |

A customer of mine called the other day asking for a hook to hang stockings on her mantel. She said all the ones she had seen were cheap imports. Here is what I came up with.


Gate design

Here is a design I'm working on. Light weight tube steel 1" and .75".
The problem is it just does not "feel" right to me. The only request was to incorperate some circles in the center of it.
What do you think?


How to get the word out.

Money Makers

Alex,
Thanks for starting the Money Makers group!

So my main product is gates. Not exactly the best online product. Yes there are many sites 'selling' gates yet with shipping I would rather keep it local for now. I'm currently working on word of mouth. I also plan on listing in the local Craigslist although it is three months old here and is just starting to catch on.


TIG Welding

Welding

Valerie,
Thanks for the new forum. May latest project is all mild steel .065 tubing. I had lots of problems with pitting in the welds. I tig welded it using straight argon. I cleaned the tubing with denatured alchohol. It's been a few as in 4 or 5 years since I have done any tig. I have been mostly using mig as of late.
