Your comment made me think that I should have used the very small Chinese 'bread loaf" anvil I have. That anvil bick would have been perfect. Next time... Thanks.
I used to have a fork called a fish fork that had one wide outside tine that was wider and slightly sharpened to be like a knife for cutting the fish apart with the same utensil that you eat it with. It was my favorite fork for everything. But it got lost when I moved a few times over the years. There’s pictures of fish forks online if you want to see what they look like. Not that common these days It’s also called a pastry fork.
If you know anyone doing renovations of their house, ask if they'll be removing any wire. Then you won't need to buy any, and if you strip it yourself, it'll remain free.
Yeah, copper is not cheap. There's a store here that sells only copper and brass in all sizes and shapes. And they don't mind small purchases. Very fun to forge copper for sure. Thanks.
Yes, I am currently selling this version of guillotine tool. Once I get it listed on my website, I plan to charge $150 (includes shipping) but I can do $140 total now. It comes with fuller & flat die sets and choice of 3/4", 7/8", or 1" hardy shank. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching. Glen
Yes, copper is soft but after being work hardened it's perfectly fine for a simple small fork like this. For that matter, the Egyptians built the pyramids with copper chisels! Thanks for watching.
@@gstongs Ancient people did not use copper tools, but bronze ones. The hardness of these metals differs significantly. In addition, there is no scientific evidence of the widespread use of such a tool for the construction of tombs.
Nice project. Liked the patina.
Thanks Ron. I might have tried to achieve a different patina but all the quenching softens the copper and I needed to work harden it a bit afterwards.
Very nice Glen! Always a new adventure and opening up new directions for the forge and hammer! Keep them coming!
I think a can do more with copper as utensils. No matter, I just like working with copper, a welcome change from tool steel. Thanks Robert.
Like the copper fork for sure, gonna make me one. Thanks for sharing
I just always enjoy working with copper - a welcome change from steel and especially tool steels. Thanks.

A fish fork sounds like a good project. I need to investigate... Thanks.
Thanks for sharing
You got it. Thanks.
+It's too bad copper costs so much as it is fun to forge and can help for learning how metal moves. Nice forks!

Do you sell that Guillotine tool? I would definitely be interested in buying one.

Cool dude!
Thanks.
Nice looking fork…. Are you selling the small hammer you used on the fork
The 1st fork looked bulky, heavy and not very useful. Not pleasing to the eye at all (ugly)!
just like ya mother
That fork works fine but yeah, it may be too bulky for some. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Hey now, be nice. All opinions are fine to me.
Симпатично, но не практично.
Медь - СЛИШКОМ мягкий металл!
