Very, very nice combination of twists and techniques, IMHO. More and more, I see why you use that double-ball setup more and more! Nice touch with the angle iron, also.
Thank you, this particular one was 11.5 inches. If course a tad longer won't hurt and will allow you to get in behind and weld a bit easier. Thank you for watching
Hello, it's actually just a design I came up with based on some similar shovels I had seen. It's a bit larger then a normal swage pattern. I have the template saved and can add it to our template inventory that's pdf downloadable sometime tomorrow after work. We have an out of town show today and won't be back till late. Can shoot an email to emptypocketsironworks@gmail.com and just put in that you had some with me about the shovel template and we can get you set up.
That's a lovely piece of work, thanks for sharing with us
Thank you
Nice !!!

That’s a great shovel. I’ll have that in my mind for a long time. Thanks!
Thank you for watching, and very welcome.

Very nice, keep this up and will be known as heavy pockets! Love the tow ball tool, be making one of those! Thanks.
Hahaha thanks

Thank you sir!
How long is the initial length of the angle iron before forming it?
Beautiful work!!

Hi how did you sketch out that pattern for the shovel any chance of getting a copy of it?

@@wrotiron Thanks very much mate appreciate it.
Nice build Chris! I'll have to remember the technique with the angle iron.
Thank you
I really liked your steady pace while you were working at the anvil. Nice work, sir!
Greetings from a fellow blacksmith, and a new subscriber ;)
I really appreciate that! Thank you for watching and the sub
What thickness (metric if you don't mind) are you using for the scoop part?
Thank you for the comment, it's 14 gauge or approximately 2.0 mm light but string enough with side bends to be useful.
@@wrotiron Thnx! :-)
First!
Thank you
Just in time to fill stockings with coal
By the scoop full!
Bon, c'est à peu près....
I'm sorry I haven't called, but somethings changed and I don't have it right now to order anything. Again sorry
No worries
