Completed this little handrail today. Some nice details; tricky to get the whole thing in a shot with it in the forge so you’ll have to wait until I’ve installed it to see proper pictures!

I’m a big fan of jigs too - this project has these nice little curved right angle brackets and an hour spent making a simple jig allows me to make them all consistently.

Some really satisfying chunky twists made today as part of a larger project. Starting stock is 25mm square, hot chiseled down all four faces and two opposing corners slightly rounded off before twisting two full turns. They came out nicely!

Still getting off the ground on here… I’ve found a couple of other blacksmiths in #MetalFeed but I’m looking for interesting folk to follow! Can anyone recommend any #blacksmiths, #metalworkers, #artists or #sculptors on @bsky.app for me to check out?

Pleased to welcome Nicki-Joe to capture some shots for a project he’s working on. Challenging shooting in conditions with minimal light & lots of movement. Love the grittiness here!

I don’t think he’s on here but pop over to Insta: @nickijoephoto

Just finished this traditionally jointed swing sign bracket… looking forward to seeing this installed!

Hello. New here. Please be gentle! Previous occasional user of the social network formerly beginning with T. Couldn’t ever really get behind the new ownership. 🤷‍♂️

Mainly here to post my work and be inspired by other interesting blacksmiths around the world. 👍 #blacksmith #blacksmithing #MetalFeed
