Hello everyone,

I've been trying out copper wire braiding to potentially make handles for the coffee bean scoops and other copper utensils and also turn them into bracelets, which are great for people who suffer from arthritis, finger numbness and they are good for general well-being aswell as looking really cool once they're finished and polished.

I have a load of different designs and styles i want to try out but I am still practicing getting them all uniform and looking awesome, also practicing how to TIG weld them together and put end caps on them.

I hope you like the look of them so far, the one on the right has been welded together with some twisted wire, it has a couple of defects in the welds and still needs the end caps finishing but I think it's turned out ok 👍

What do you all think? 🤔 LMK

Cheers

Hello everyone,

Here is a before and after picture of the blacksmiths knife 🔪 I made now that ive sharpened it, and it is hair popping sharp 😬😲
I will post a video later of the sharpness test to show it off but it is scary 😨 sharp, I polished the blade but left some of the blacksmithing marks as I love the look of them and think it adds character to the knife.

I hope you like it 😊
Cheers

Slow-motion recordings of the lightning 🌩 we had last night 🌙 in Swindon. Some are a bit blurry but still looks amazing the way it travels across the night sky and right above our house 🏠
Hope you enjoy them 😊

Making a copper and steel coffee scoop from scrap materials. I salvaged the copper from some old pipe and the steel was a piece of 10mm rebar.

Hello everyone,

Here is a before and after picture of our staircase. I put some laminate flooring (i had spare) on the risers to make them look nicer. We used to have carpet on the stairs but over the years it had deteriorated and got worn out on the treads so the mrs decided to rip it up and paint the stairs, it was my job to make them look nice and I think they turned out ok.

What do you think?

Hello everyone,

**Hand-forged BBQ spatula done!** 🔥

Turned an old handsaw blade and a length of 15mm rebar into the perfect burger-flipping weapon. The rebar got a full twist for that classic blacksmith look, topped with a nice big hook so it hangs right on the grill, fire pit or even your pocket or apron. Riveted the saw blade on solid with copper rivets — it’s got that perfect width and stiffness for flipping big patties without drama.

Lightweight, sturdy, and full of character. Nothing beats cooking with tools you made yourself out of scrap.

Who else loves turning old tools into new ones?

Making a spatula out of an old handsaw and a piece of 15mm rebar. I added some twists to the handle and shaft for decoration and a loop and pocket clip to hang it up with.

Making a special bespoke rose 🌹 for a big birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉
I electric etched the numbers on both sides of the biggest petals, then textured them before putting the rose together. I added some heat colouring to the leaves and to the rose after brassing. 🌹 💐

Making a very special bespoke rose 🌹 to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of my best customer's. I had to make some new tools and learn some new skills to pull it off but I think it's turned out amazing and thankfully the customer love's it.
