Although the #bridge closure would have been inconvenient, I had a look at what this #forge / #blacksmith makes and its not that large/heavy items (vehicles over 7 500 kg are forbidden from the bridge anyway) - I do wonder if it was a coincidence his business had trade decline and the real reason is even relatively middle class folk are skint, and simply can't afford artisan forged garden ornaments? #Suffolk #roads #transport

My first character in FFXIV, and my primary alt these days.

C'odex Tia was a blacksmith in the nomadic Coeurl Tribe, until his growing aetheric healing powers led him to adventuring and the Scions. After the events on the First, his powers over Light increased to unprecedented levels, giving him the strength to protect the world but forever severing himself from his people.

Back in 2018, I made this very handy mini egg-flip. And for what it was designed to do (flip eggs, move biscuits off trays, etc) it excelled.
However, youngest child has been using it to fry steaks and pressing down on the steak in the process, so the thin shank glued in to a turned wooden handle was a weak point. The wood broke.

Rather than just make another handle with the same problem, I set about fixing the attachment point.

I took some engineering grade stainless bar, and forged down a small part of it and formed a cone, then welded that to the egg-flip shank. The existing wooden handle fits inside beautifully. I'm now waiting for the epoxy holding it in there to set before it can go back in service.

Just a lil' reminder that I also work with teaching a 3 year course in blacksmithing. Me and my bestie Johan.

It's such an outlet for all the ideas that you never have time for when you're living 100% on producing. And all the projects and questions keep me sharp and still curious.

This fall, I got to present my and the woodworkers second-years with the task of reconstructing a pair of skates.
❤️ They did SO GOOD! And I'm endlessly proud of them! ❤️
