[TheForge] Mastermyr - Fire Grid

Sun Jun 2 22:08:03 2002

Rob, Phlip, et al

Just posted a new picture of my progress.  The eye swivel was lots of 
fun.  Tried your way Phlip and then my idea, neither worked.  Finally I 
formed the head and then prebent the hook into a U shape with the wrap 
sticking out at 90 degree.  I then slid it through the plate, heated it, 
closed the eye and did the wrap.  Only 5 more grid rods to forge and 33 
rivets to go.  I'm planning to meet Roger at  3pm  Tuesday, so I have a 
day and 1/2 to complete it.

Rob do you know how you're planning to display it?  Do you have 
something to hang it from?  If I have time I'll make a simple stand that 
will support the top plate and chains with the Fire Grid setting  on the 
ground.
