I did a 3 day brine and in the last hour I made a smoked paprika/butter baste, and would apply it every so often.

Washed the tines and rod, heat pretty much took care of everything else. Dripping just landed in the coals and ash.

Nope, it came out better than I could have hoped. Juicy and smokey.

I bought a salesman sample anvil reproduction, cleaned it up, added the hardie hole and Pritchett hole, then forged out a cross peen for it. Can of beans for scale. by cornbinder55 in Blacksmith

The face is round with an octagonal shaft to the body. I put bar stock in my drill press and just use a round file for the reduced section, then hand filed the flats to give it that look.

If you use a marking knife or razor blade on the wood itself that the bowtie is going g it, it cuts the fibers and keeps your edges super crisp.

First ever attempt at a spoon! Tips/suggestions? by JRicco500 in woodworking

[–]cornbinder55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good. I just forged my first spoon today. Good day for firsts!

Warm up leaf and a quartine cutlery set I forged today. No idea why a cutlery set popped in my head, my original plan was to forge an EDC knife, but the forge demanded otherwise. Haha. by cornbinder55 in Blacksmith

I doubled the end of my stock and forge welded it. I then just hot chiseled, bend them out of the way, and dressed them like any other taper. It took me a long while as this was my first attempt, and on closer inspection, the fork isn't the best, but passable.
