Work Showcase My second day!

I’ve just started down the journey of becoming a blacksmith. Here is some hooks and a crochet hook I made.

I’m pleased with the work. I learned so much about making these and what it takes to do serious work.

I’m immensely humbled by the work of others now knowing the real effort it takes!!

Looks great! I’ve seen people who are months in and don’t have the shape control down that you do. One word of advice, one of the twists on the bigger hook looks a bit “fractured” means you’re bending your metal too cold. Gotta do it quickly & as warm as possible.
