Arts and Crafts | blacksmith | blacksmithing | forge | forged steel | hammered metal | heated metal | metal | metal art | steel | welding | wrought iron I'm about to start a project building a propane metal forge. This is the latest in a flurry of activity brought on by tragedy. I recently lost a very good friend at work when he unexpectedly passed away. This left a coveted opening on day shift that I was able to move to. This change in working hours has had an unexpected effect on me after working night shift for 14 years: I have energy again. My wife just thinks I've gone crazy. Maybe it's because I build a spud gun last week, I dunno. Meganaura Gate

blacksmithing | drawing | twisted sq. stock | wrought iron | Other Metal Gallery  This drawing was taken from Jerry Hoffman's Blacksmith Journal. No.8 appeals to me most for the start of another diamond twist: *I would flatten the four corners somewhat and then pound in wide chisel cuts on all the corners. Diamond Twist Sample - I

blacksmithing | diamond twist | twisted steel | wrought iron | Other Metal Gallery  This was forged from 3/4" square, with the "rope twist" dies on my power hammer. * The rope twist is made first, and somewhat tighter than normal. * Then it is run through the dies again to put a grooved line down the middle, on all four sides.
