[TheForge] Re: Blacksmithing Demo, Projects?

Another item that people will recognize is a screen door hook.  Hook
at one end, eye on the other and a twist in the middle, then another
eye with a drive point to interlock with the one on the hook.  Then
yet another eye with rive point for the hook to go into.  3/16", 1/4"
or 5/16" stock.  

Or for a laugh, make one 3' long from 3/8" or even 1/2" stock.  Then
the patter is about using a big long one to hold a barn door open
instead of closed. (In fact, I have a 3' long one from 1/4" square for
my woodshed door so it won't slam shut in the wind and knock me down
with an armload of wood.)

One of the very first things I leaned to make, way back when.
