Title: Forged Pocket Cross - 2
Post by: Thadbow on May 09, 2024, 09:38:36 PM
I will fire up the forge to craft the winner a Fredricks pocket cross.
This will be a great addition to your pocket, pack or a purse. I will post some pics when the auction begins!
Thank you,
Thad

Great work!
Tonight I had the opportunity to cut some steel and get things started..
Once cut and heated, I start the process of opening it up.

Then heat again and open the other side.

Hoping to get back to this tomorrow.
Oh, and I am not only making one,  will make 2 so you have one to share. :goldtooth:
Thanks again!

Proverbs 27:17 reads:
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
I think about his with every cross I forge!

Once I open the cross, I hot cut the top to match the sides.

Then I will give it a wood texture with my cross peen hammer on the anvil and finish texturing on a piece of wood.(https://i.imgur.com/kic53R4.jpg)

When I finish the forging, they get cleaned up with a file to remove the sharps and I give them a quick buff.
I will heat them when I'm done and give them a coat of carnauba wax.
Enjoy!(https://i.imgur.com/bCd8vTh.jpg)
