Blacksmithing/metal, is a plastic art and the main art where you can use plastic deformation to create any significant 3d effects.

"In glass blowing there are so many opportunities for things to go terribly wrong, in blacksmithing there are infinite ways to correct, perfect and make better!"

Sorry for disappearing, I have been dealing with medical issues.

I am finishing a new shop makeover, and I will be posting that journey soon.

Better yet the new shop will be a proper shop, the full 9'x19'is open with a bench running the full length!

More to come behind that door!

Using the bandsaw, the metal shavings fall nice and slow.
Using the bandsaw, only the metal is removed.
Using the bandsaw makes a neater, thinner, straighter cut.

Using the angle grinder, the cut is wider, harder to get straight and neat.
The angle grinder cuts fast and throws metal dust and sparks across the room.
The worst part of using the grinder with the "abrasive" cutting discs is that the abrasive is designed to wear away as it cuts; causing the abrasive to float in the air with the metal dust.
The metal dust is gross and covers everything, the sparks are hazardous, the dust is breathable for quite awhile, (without a mask), and it all STINKS!

If I cut all these with the grinder, all this metal would have been powdered and spread across my shop and floating in the air when I disturb it.

Hey everyone I'm at the Cranbrook Farmers Market today from 10 am till 1pm

This will be my last street market of the year!

I'm not sure about Xmas markets quite yet but I will let you know.

This was last week's market, for reference of inventory.

I went a little heavy on the welds lol...

A prototype of a wall mounted FLAGPOLE bolster/mount, the symbol is my "makers mark" aka initials LTF

3/16" backing plate three mounting holes to accept 1/4" screws.

The tube has an inner diameter big enough for a 1 1/2" flagpole, (standard size I believe)

I have coated this with clear rustoleum already.

I'm thinking about a $50-60 price tag....

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Yes it does look phalic 😳 🤦‍♂️

Hello hello everyone thanks for your interest and patience while I get into the habit if posting my projects and stuff. I've been super busy getting a new website set up and I'll hopefully be sharing it with you soon!

Night before the market and the morning of the market are two different versions of me 😂 😜
