As purchased, this hammer had a long handle which didn't fit me very well. After cutting it down a bit, the hammer was much easier to control.	My first attempt at making tongs. Oh well, I just pounded the end over and use it for pulling pieces out of the forge.	Getting better... These two match up somewhat. Still not great, there's a lot of variation between each piece, but I'm getting there.
	These are my first attempts at sporks, in order from left to right, with a regular fork and spoon for comparison. On my first attempt, I made everything too large. The last two, I made the ends the right size, but the handle is still too long.

This is my first anvil. I used the RR track for quite awhile before giving up. The basic shape and the horn were cut out with a plasma torch. The horn was then rounded off with a hand grinder. The face is a piece of snowplow blade which was graciously donated to the cause.
