It just needs a little oil...
Good day today. I spent about 4-5 hours on the forge. Worked on hinges for the first time. I have to say, starting to feel like I'm understanding this blacksmithing stuff... Anyway, I am making a strap hinge. I was able to roll the part of the hinge that holds the pin. On one half of the hinge I was able to thin it out and I started to put the decorative end on the hinge. Unfortunately, my eternal foe the sun decided to set...
I think the hinges are coming out nicely. I have to say much better than I expected. I don't have any plans for the hinge, but I do have some future projects in mind that need hinges. So, I decided to give hinge making a try. I will try to post a picture of the hinge when I am done.
