Forged leaves and hooks coat rack, companion to my dovetail bench! FarmCraft101 DIY

My wife wanted a nice looking coat rack in the mud room for Christmas, so here's the result. I forged the hooks from steel rod reclaimed from an old box spring, and then forged 2 decorative leaf hooks from 1/2" mild steel bar. I used thin steel plate and a threaded stud to mount the hooks. I finished the white oak with 2 coats of danish oil. Off camera I put a coating of beeswax on all the hooks prior to final assembly. I think it turned out really nice, in fact, the finish is more to my liking than the dovetail bench. It looks much older and more traditional.

Oh, and though I'm sure carbide scissors exist...no. Just no.

Jon, I sure hope your wife knows you are a FARM CRAFT GOD! So impressive what you know how to do.

[@javig5045]

I totally envy you and your skills, just love watching your creations.

[@DanKoning777]

Your combined metal/woodworking skills always result in eloquent style, durability and usefulness. This project was no exception. Well done.

[@marksimonds13]

Very impressive... both your wood/metal skills, as well as your video editing/special effects skills. Well done Sir!!

[@RefinerSimilitude]

2 things. Thanks for describing the scribe technique you didn't end up using; it's a very clever trick I may need to use. When you began the leaf, I was thinking about how I don't like how everyone seems to make them flat. No leaf is flat. Then you began to show how to give it a more complex curvature! Awesome!

[@carbynecnc9218]

amazing craftsmanship... simple yet elegant design... so much so I want to make my own

[@paulorchard7960]

Nice rack for an otherwise useless corner! Square corners are not common in older buildings but around the turn of this century we builders worked out how to do it! 🤣

[@l3ender15]

I need a pair of those scissors!

[@FarmCraft101]

Haha! Me too! ;-)

[@glenpaul3606]

Looks great, super job !!

[@justinevansgsm2swaw]

[@ajsironworks3937]

Amazing work

[@MadebyKourmoulis]

The most impressive part of the whole video was the square walls.

[@arthurkukowski]

This was awesome. Love this project. Subbed!

[@1rustytree]

Great tutorial! Thanks for the video! When you were bending the first stem I was going to ask you if things ever break off!

[@darkstar2111]

[@eddiealexander2485]

Nice job on the rack.

[@PeriodWoodworker]

Very nice accessory. Thanks

[@andylarner8576]

a beautiful result happy new year from the UK

[@thedixonway]

Using plug welds on your bracket plates would hide the welds and be just as strong. Nice build!!

[@kenl5217]

Thumbs up really nice

[@thekiminthenorth504]

Love your work man 👏🏼

[@bestbuilder1st]

A couple thoughts- the term for the cut you did on the table saw "to join the two peices 10:47" is a Rabbet or UK, Rebate. Having something look "old fashion" by using only "old fashion tools" 10:55 didn't make sense to me; using only hand planes and scrapers will give you a finer, better, and smoother, professional finish than sandpaper and machines could ever do (of course, that would depend on the user).
From the camera angle at the end, it all looks good from here. I especially like the opposing leaves on the ends, that was a nice touch.

[@mrmonkeyman412]

I think the metal is breaking because it's a hardenable spring steel, so when it cold it's more brittle, especially the first one you quenched.

[@FarmCraft101]

Very likely. I assumed it was mild steel, but I don't think mild steel would have broken off so easily.

[@Jennifer-zb4gc]

nice work :)

[@baldcreations8044]

That looks so cool, nice job mate.

[@gilmarduarte4875]

Ótimo track! Show de bola! Parabéns!

[@teebugg66]

Awesome video! I need some of those carbide scissors, did you get those at Harbor Freight?

[@daviddahl4148]

Very nice!

[@FarmCraft101]

Thank you!

[@allmilmoe]

awesome work buddy ;-)

[@TheVill4in]

Awesome job! Jealous of your shop!

[@aticuss]

Great!

[@SteinertAirsoft]

I want those carbide scissors :D

[@FarmCraft101]

Me too! ;-)

[@SouthdownWatersForge]

I guess bed frames must be spring steel hence the brittleness after water quench?

[@HarjitSingh-cv8ld]

Hlo sir am watching your videos and these amazing am a blacksmith sir some times iron start cracking when am hammering please help me In this sir am very thankful to you

[@bernardkriel1]

What is the chain around the anvil for ?

[@FarmCraft101]

It absorbs vibrations and makes it ring less.

[@willykanos1044]

So, I see everyone who owns an anvil wraps it with chain. No one explains why. Is it to make it ring less?

[@FarmCraft101]

Yeah, and mine still rings too much, but only on camera. I actually don't notice it when I'm forging.

[@timothyjohnson5058]

I just can not swing a hammer that fast.

[@thenicestguyyouknow7338]

THAT IS A FINER STRAIGHT PEEN!!!!! NOT A CROSS PEEN!!!
