Yves' Forge: Pull yourself together

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/2014/07/pull-yourself-together.html

Vendredi 25 juillet 2014. A friend from Scotland (he occasionnaly wears a kilt) invited me to his birthday party. He will be 70 years old. In the invitation he wrote that sometimes he feels more like 100 years old. So for those moments when he feels broken up,. I forged him a means to pull himself together and kick his heels :. 29 août 2014 à 02:40. Inscription à : Publier les commentaires (Atom). See my other blog. The kitchen implements in full swing ….

Yves' Forge: juin 2014

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Samedi 7 juin 2014. On this rustic armoire a lock both simple and efficient. It is still elegant when open. Simplicity does not prevent elegance in details. And please notice that the holes all holes for the lag screws were forged rather than drilled mecanicaly. This lock would be a nice addition to a garden gate as well. Inscription à : Articles (Atom).

Yves' Forge: Getting back to the anvil, to the hammer

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/2013/01/getting-back-to-anvil-to-hammer.html

Samedi 12 janvier 2013. Getting back to the anvil, to the hammer. For some time now, an accident prevents me from forging. But I will get there shortly. That. I make sure of. I clean the path that leads to the anvil, to the hammer. First, you go along my wife's painter's studio. The forge is around the bend, on the left. The doors just wait to be opened.

Yves' Forge: Prime space for little money

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/2013/05/prime-space-for-little-money.html

Vendredi 24 mai 2013. Prime space for little money. A standing computer station. Here is the plan. This commission did not require complicated forging techniques. The challenge was of another nature. The client called upon a blacksmith that uses the most ancient techniques for forging. The problem was the integration of an object produced with these techniques in a minimalist decor with little space available and where scrolls and leaves of classical blacksmithing would not have been at home. The kitchen...

Yves' Forge: Usefull and elegant

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/2013/06/usefull-and-elegant.html

Samedi 1 juin 2013. To hang your hat and coat in style. All shapes and sizes of coat hooks are offered in the big boxes. It was not enough. I was asked to design and forge hooks that could not be found in what is forced on us by the industry. I designed and forged these :. Of course, they had to be 'comfortable'for a hat and a coat and not attack the cloth. The iron went out of its way . When you dont see them, they are doing their job. When you see them, its a pleasure. See my other blog. Il y a 1 an.

Yves' Forge: novembre 2012

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Mercredi 28 novembre 2012. A security system, yes, but with elegance. Increase the security of your home and it's esthetics while youre at it. Often enough, lovely homes otherwise, suffer from certain details. For instance, basement windows or ventilators barred with straight bars. Like prison bars. The grill I have forged with a wheat stalk motif has the same defensive virtues as a set of bars. It does not share in its esthetic flaws. This wheat stalk motif can also be used for a railing. It must be not...

Yves' Forge: janvier 2013

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Vendredi 18 janvier 2013. Historical skewers and a pork roast. My skewers seem to be big and bold. They are not the size asian industry has imposed on us. They are not mere heavy wire. They are one quarter inch steel. It is a superior size. It does yield a superior skewer. That size makes it a real tool in the hand. It does not roll when piercing meat. It does not slip either. You can push through easily. The skewer holder has its arms full. That is if we believe Alex Bealer in. And a shorter version?

Yves' Forge: My smithy

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/p/my-smithy.html

My smithy is in a silo that had not been used in the past 30 years. The silo and the entrance to the smithy. The diameter of the silo is 4,42m. The type of work I forge finds there all the space it needs. The coal is stored on the first floor. As you walk into the forge. One step away from the forge, the anvil rests on a steel box filled with sand. It is an excellent base for the anvil and the sand deadens the ring of the anvil which may ring away one's hearing. The ancvil is 275 lbs (125 kg). Il y a 1 an.

Yves' Forge: Flowers and plants, set'em up, ladies & gentlemen, set'em up!

http://yvesforge.blogspot.com/2013/04/flowers-and-plants-setem-up-ladies.html

Lundi 8 avril 2013. Flowers and plants, set'em up, ladies and gentlemen, set'em up! Small stuff you have to replace every other year, the lady did not want any more. Rather, she asked me for something solid, for years to come and elegant and nice to look at before the flowers and after the flowers. Something you would like to have and even be proud of. This is what I offered. The uprights are 3/4"x3/8" flat stock, 72 inches long. The struts are 3/8" square. Total width is 44-1/2". She accepted et voila!
