Thanks OH! I really do enjoy forging. Missed my calling. The only frustrating part that has me saying lots of bad words is when these wrought iron openers split open on the grain lines. Bad words are said, but the end result is worth it when it does all go well.

I've been forging this week, and another batch of openers are being shipped out to 'Fire members in the next few days. smile

This one is a flame color with a little blue sky reflected off the metal as well.

These are too nice to go unnoticed. I hope you are still forging them, sir!

I've bought three from him--2 wrought iron and one steel. One of the WI and the steel were given as birthday gifts with their birth year stamped on one side and their last name stamped on the opposite side. They get glowing reviews and are always envied at family get-togethers.

I love mine too. If he's taking orders again, I recommend you guys take advantage.

Thanks for the note! My wrought iron supply has dwindled, so modern steel is what I forge them from now. I haven't advertised, been busy forging other projects.

I thought the demand would have died down, but I still have people who bought some, or received them as gift contacting me for more... Nice to know people enjoy them! :-) I can forge more if you'd like one.

Lots given as Christmas gifts!

For those that have one, remember that once a year or so a good quality paste wax and buff is recommended to keep it looking sharp and protected.

I've made a few of these for myself and as gifts. I even got my daughter to make a couple.

I like the blackhawks version. Nice!

For those interested, I'm still forging these with normal steel. Same design, same look, just modern material.

These personalized ones are going out for Christmas presents, here they are before the finishing color choice process, and before the leather lanyard is installed:

That is awesome! I used mine just the other day and was thinking about whether you're still making them!

Thread from four years ago! Glad people are still enjoying their owners! I still have people who bought some years ago contacting me to buy more for presents. I don't have the wrought iron material any longer, but still make the same out of modern steel. Same design, same size and shape. Can still do the same finishes, black oil finish, polished steel, or flame temper colors.
