Show and tell
This year I was given the chance to make the 1st place prices for @norwegianopen_wcs, and @idabeach very kindly invited me up during the awards to talk a little bit about the tankards.

@phildecker.bsky.socialWhat is a Subject Matter Eligibility Declaration in #patent law? Better SMED than Dead! See my post on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/philli... #SMED
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialPutting it together
Here you have it, all put together. Looking at it now, it seems very simple, but I blame the fact that it's very difficult to make it look simple. Or something like that.
There's one more surprise left here though. Stay tuned for that shortly.
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialBending on the diamond
A part of the design I wanted to emphasize with this project, was doing things on the diagonal, but that turned bending the handle shape into a challenge nearly impossible by hand. Turns out, the fly press can prove it's worth yet again.
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialWorking on something special
This has been a project long time in the making. From idea to the current version I think we're talking about 18 months, and there's still a few things I'd like to tweak, but for now, it's done. More to come.
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialFinishing up something cool
With fire, because its the only right way to work with wood. More info to come.
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialCold cutting 16 mm steel
The more I use it, the more I have come to love my Peddinghaus ironworker. This clip is just about real time, and I'd say that two minutes, including waiting for the machine to spin up, is not a bad time to cut 9 pieces of 16 mm round. What do you think?
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialStubborn restoration work
It took quite a few rounds of bashing and straightening to get the hinge bolt out of this bending jig. I could have used a harder piece as a punch, but that would abuse the hinge bolt a lot more, and I'd rather avoid that.
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialNew small anvil acquisition!
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialCleaning up
Getting this swage black ready for many more years of service.
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialNew anvil acquisition!
I think I have almost one of each size of this model now. Most likely a Stavanger Elektrostaal anvil.
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialI realised a little while back that I have never made these ball details on the middle of a rod before. So when a new job comes along that deserves a little extra.
Making some custom guillotine dies was a part of the experience, and are available for sale.
@rasmusloen.bsky.socialTool forging class
Yesterday we forged the tools, today we're using them to make tongs.
Not thongs, that's a separate class.
