I haven’t been in the forge for a while (apart from small modifications to various household/automotive components), and since we have a new team member at work, I figured I’d get back in to it with our little mini prybars I give our team members, and a hook, because you can never have enough hooks.
La beauté se cache souvent dans les détails… comme cette serrure de porte réalisée en 1911 par Frank Koralewsky.
Inspirée de Blanche-Neige et les sept nains, elle transforme un objet normalement très banal en minuscule théâtre de conte : fer forgé, décor précieux, personnages minuscules… On voulait juste fermer une porte, et voilà qu’on se retrouve avec les frères Grimm sur la poignée.
Without a doubt the hardest piece of furniture I've ever made. Welded steel frame, top made from very old Tasmanian hardwood rescued from a barn. I only have basic woodworking hand tools so most of it was planed/cut/sanded/filed/etc by hand.
Getting the angled legs right and just the amount of sanding/filing required to make it look all smooth took more hours than I can count.

Learn the art of shaping copper in relief using hammers and punches.
€130 - Book through Eventbrite
In this one-day workshop, we will explore the ancient Bronze Age techniques of chasing and repoussé. The term chasing is derived from the French word chasse, meaning a groove, furrow, channel, or indentation. A design is applied to the metal by first using carbon paper to transfer the pattern onto the surface, then using a scribe to etch in the design. The metal is then set into pitch and worked on from both sides using a selection of punches and a repoussé hammer until the desired effect is achieved.
All materials and equipment are supplied.
