David de GrootBack in 2018, I made this very handy mini egg-flip. And for what it was designed to do (flip eggs, move biscuits off trays, etc) it excelled. However, youngest child has been using it to fry steaks and pressing down on the steak in the process, so the thin shank glued in to a turned wooden handle was a weak point. The wood broke. Rather than just make another handle with the same problem, I set about fixing the attachment point. I took some engineering grade stainless bar, and forged down a small part of it and formed a cone, then welded that to the egg-flip shank. The existing wooden handle fits inside beautifully. I'm now waiting for the epoxy holding it in there to set before it can go back in service.<a href="https://theblower.au/tags/blacksmith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blacksmith</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/metalwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metalwork</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/utensils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#utensils</a>

Ferrum Borealis ForgeJust a lil' reminder that I also work with teaching a 3 year course in blacksmithing. Me and my bestie Johan. It's such an outlet for all the ideas that you never have time for when you're living 100% on producing. And all the projects and questions keep me sharp and still curious. This fall, I got to present my and the woodworkers second-years with the task of reconstructing a pair of skates. ❤️ They did SO GOOD!

David de GrootI was going to fire up the forge this morning. Then I noticed my forge apron had an unhealthy amount of mould growing on it (gotta love leather in wet weather - not!)So I spent a while cleaning that, then applying a healthy dose of Dubbin. So, with that plan scuppered, I tackled the thing I had been meaning to do for months - re-line the forges with refractory cement. The gas forge in particular was well and truly due (some of the fibre insulation was visible). So I covered myself with as much PPE as I could ('cause refractory cement in its powder form is really not good for you), mixed up a heap in a bucket and set about applying it. Pretty sure I got a good coating on it. Had some leftover, so I cleaned out and lined the coal forge too. Of course, it's wet outside, so it'll be a week or more before I can light test fires in them. <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/blacksmith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blacksmith</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/maintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maintenance</a>
