Wrought Iron Door Bolt for the Shop - Part Two

This week, I made a start on a door bolt for the front double doors for the shop, again using wrought iron. Made lots of mistakes, took three tries to get a mostly-successful result- and then the day ended a bit tragically. But, I'm learning- and that is the most important part.

Very inspirational, no hydraulic presses, no power hammer, just a dedicated man and his hammer and anvil. My style of smithing!

Hahaha “I think im going to leave well enough alone, for once” I too struggle with doing just that.

Not much of a blacksmith he says. I disagree. You're pretty freaking incredible. I enjoy watching you and learning.
