Here is an example of some of the forge work I've done. This is a fireplace set that I made a few years ago for my wife. They are a reproduction set based on 18th c. patterns, and consist of a flesh fork, spatula and a ladle. It took about a week to do all of the forge work and then they were coated with cooking oil and baked in a slow oven for a few hours to season them and prevent them from rusting.
This is a detail shot showing the tangs of the handles and the hand rivetting.
