Ok, good video! Extra vocabulary, and a cool looking poker! I make fire place broom blanks for the club in similar fashion in a rustic style using rusty 1/2" sq bar that's been wire brushed and planished. But sometimes whopper jaw tends to transform into cattywompus! carry on and keep up the good work!
I’ve watched this bideo a couple of times now and it’s very informative for a newb like me. However, I’ve encountered this: my bar stock keeps twisting on me while hammering the points. How can I prevent this?
Iv got a small gas forge, iv attempted this a few times but cant get the welds to stick. Starting to think my forge cant get up to a high enough heat for a proper forge weld. I was thinking i should just go out and buy a little welder. Any thoughts?
Gentlemen, my guess he used 1/2" sq. At minimum, depending on where the poker is going to be used and shop equipment available 5/8"-3/4" and at least 36" is my recomendation for a fireplace poker, camp fire length or outdoors firepit, 48" remember you want to move logs not bend a poker! Hope this helps!
Thanks to you, after 5 attempts I finally got a forge weld and successfully made this style firepoker!
Great video again. I take appreciate the info on measurements for the hook on the handle end. Keep up the good work
Thank you very much for the kind words
Flawless presentation, with bonus vocabulary! Many thanks, as always.

You need borax to clean the flux, and get the steel hot.
Love it.
Glad you liked it Rob
