We all know the old AXIOM, "if you use junk, you make junk". Not true with blacksmithing.You would be surprised by what you can make from an OLD LAWN MOWER. I would rather use it here then to sell it to a scrap yard, just to be sent back to CHINA, so i could buy it again.
Thats supposed to be a "DOG" however it was made by accident with no planning, apperently a chunk of brass fell into my coal bin, and when I added more coal, it got added, and melted all over everything. Froze it all up you might say. Well I dug out all the pieces and this was in there. I thought it was cool, so I kept it. All I did to this was brush it off, you can still see coal in the tail end. TRUE STORY.
I think I made this fork from a 10 inch drop of 1/2 x 1/2 inch key stock.
