21.01.2022 Garden Hoes all done.fire welds stuck good considering the belting they got from the Massey power hammer to stretch and spread the steel. Split the end with a chisel before I went to far and fire welded the tool steel into the end.All trimmed , hardened and tempered .really happy with the final product.@skender_iron #knifemakers #heritagetools #handforgedtools #blacksmith #australianmade #desinermaker #ironhardware @ Skender Iron

19.01.2022 Pots put into stands very carefully by 5 men. These are 250 years old and the customer would not have been happy if there was damage.Fun to make but a huge sigh of relief to have them safely in place . @skender_iron #blacksmithing #gardenpots #australianmade #designermaker @ Dunsborough, Western Australia
19.01.2022 This how I made the curtain rod finial tool ,pt 1. It’s very rarely do you have the Wright size steel on hand so you have to get out what you’ve got, work out the amount you need to end up with the correct dimensions when finished forging .In this case I started out with a piece of 50 x 50 1045 steel 180 mm long and knocked it down to 115 x 55 x 80 . Made 2 off them. #houseinterior #blacksmithing #australianmade #blacksmith #furniture #curtains
17.01.2022 Curtain rod finials pt 3. Once they have been forged under the power hammer I give them a good hand hammering all over to get a nice hammer texture. #houseinterior #australianmade #blacksmith #blacksmithing #furniture #curtains

16.01.2022 Curtain rod finial tool pt 2 ! I welded the 2 pieces of steel I previously forged to a spring handle . Then heated them up in the forge again .Then I hammer the cold finial that I made by hand into the heated blocks . #houseinterior #australianmade #blacksmith #blacksmithing #furniture #curtains
10.01.2022 34 curtain rod brackets forged out of the 25 x 25 square bar stock . Had a few customers come in and are very curious as how a shape like this is forged out of the piece of square bar stock .I enjoy showing them the process of how they came about . #furniture #curtains #curtains #blacksmithing #blacksmith #australianmade #houseinterior
08.01.2022 Curtain rod finials . First sample was forged from 42 diameter solid bar. Considering that the rods themselves were upgraded to 42 mm rod we decided to make bigger finials out of 55 mm bar.A lot of work by hand. Decided to make a clapper tool to forge under the power hammer.next post I’ll show how I made the tool an it in action! #furniture #curtains #australianmade #blacksmithing #blacksmith #houseinterior
07.01.2022 250 +hand forged nails for fixing iron strapping and hinges. The Swinford chest.@skender_iron #blacksmithingisfun #blacksmith #heritagefurniture #wroughtiron #wroughtironhardware #australianmade #southwestaustralia #australianmade
06.01.2022 Curtain rod finial tool final pt 3. After they’ve been knocked down under the power hammer I give them a good hand hammering all over to get a nice hammer finish.It looks like a quick process to make the tooling needed but it isn’t .I left a lot of in between videos out as not to bore everyone to much.You want to make sure you have a lot of use for the tooling you forge as to make it worth it . I have a lot of finials to make !!! #houseinterior #australianmade #blacksmith #blacksmithing #furniture #curtains
05.01.2022 Swinford medieval chest finally all strapped and nailed up.Timber chest American oak.Really enjoyed this project .Sad to see it go. Would look good in the workshop.@skender_iron @timber_grooves #balingupmedievalcarnivale #blacksmithingisfun #heritagefurniture #wroughtironhardware #timberchest #medievil @ Skender Iron
04.01.2022 Progress on the Swinford chest going well. Nailing vertical hinges and straps. Forge welded the hinge overlap a little longer than I normally would to get some strength in them to hold the lid of this beautifully made chest by @timber_grooves @skender_iron #balingupmedievalcarnivale #blacksmithingisfun #blacksmith #wroughtironhardware #antiquefurniturerestoration #southwestaustralia #medievil @ Skender Iron

03.01.2022 Hand forged hinges for a Heritage residence in Peppermint Grove WA. Each side off these gates weighed 320 kg. They also had to counter lever out 80 mm to clear the back of brick pier so they could swing 180 degrees .Forged them out of 75 x 16 bar to make sure they would take the weight. @skender_iron #blacksmith #ironhardware #localymade #perth #designermaker #australianmade # @ Skender Iron
02.01.2022 Lately been getting request for hand made tools . 3 heavy duty garden Hoes this time. Customer requested a flat edge on the front of the eye.Jumped up some 40x40 bar to 50 x 50 to get the depth of the eye that I needed.once I fire weld this together will split the end and fire weld a strip of tool steel in for a hard wearing edge. Love traditional ironwork!@skender_iron #knifemakers #heritagetools #blacksmith #australianmade #designermaker #ironhardware #handmadetools @ Skender Iron
01.01.2022 Forged some nice heavy pot stand legs out of 50 x 25 flat bars. @skender_iron #blacksmithing #australianmade #designermaker #gardenpots
