Description
Following a design that The Guild Of Metalsmiths have at the place we teach the beginners classes. I first noticed these interesting handles when I took the beginners class. I have been meaning to make a pair for myself for a long time. I finally did. They work great. I used this as an excuse to start working on some ideas I had for ways of forging wing nuts. These come in handy when your using a striker or working larger pieces as they keep your hands farther away from the hot piece and farther away from the striking area.
Materials: mild steel
finish: Baked on oil
