  • The best thing is to work with a blacksmith. I worked with one for 8 months making oyster dredges for the skip jacks of the Chespaeake Bay. You can make lots of things and people will pay good money. You can make hinges, spikes, T frames for barns. It's a lot of fun, but itr's hot work and it's dirty work. The coal dust is everywhere. In the Summer it's hot. But you can get work making horseshoes, and lots of things. The sound of the blacksmith hammer ringing on that anvil is nice.

  • @marcheseDS That would be a pintel hinge not quite the same as this.

  • This is not a hinge. it is a spike for fixing a wooden frame to a stone or brick wall,used for door frames and windows, a hole is punched or in this case drilled in the round flat end to take the nail or screw, hope this helps.

  • my grand pa whas a forgeron

  • @JeyOmatix I would recommend the site anvilfire for learning all the basics and the manual "controlled hand forging" that can be found in pdf divided in lessons (it is free, and very clear, with step by step explanations of all the common techniques of blacksmithing)

  • @Panzerzimmerpflanze I think it is one half of those spike hinges that you drive like nails into the wood. I imagine that he will bore or punch a hole in the round flat part to let pass the pin of the second half.

  • Not sure how that's a hinge, but I could just be retarded. Loots like maybe a spike of come kind? the last step adding the little ear has me puzzled.
