I am completely building one bracer before I make any pieces for the other side, just in case I discover some major flaw in my design or process along the way. So this is where that first one stands after this weekend. I was hoping to get into the leather work by now, but I didn't quite make it.

Before Cyclone Alfred, I packed up a lot of the blacksmithing area downstairs to avoid various bits and pieces becoming projectiles in the predicted winds. Since it's quite damp today, I figured it was a good time to put everything back in order and forge out a simple starter project to get back in the swing of things.

Thus, this S-Hook came in to being from a cut-off of 10mm reo (rebar).

Is it just me, or do these railings on Otago Street in Glasgow look a row of people standing with their arms over their heads?

This silver 1940s Puiforcat goblet is especially nice when reflecting other objects.

Two weeks of 3D printing has led to these successfully formed plates of steel. They are 3 of the parts that will eventually become Aragorn's coronation vambraces.

Today, I played around with some tiny copper elements. Hammered them, pierced them, arranged them with glass beads. Will make them into earrings probably https://cutestrangecreatures.com/2025/03/13/a-little-copper-experiment-with-hammered-teardrop-elements/ #CreativeToots #metalwork #craft #maker #makershour #copper #handmade
