Thanks Lads
Aye its growing a tad John ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and will get bigger
Quote:I like the bars for hanging tools. I keep thinking I need to build myself a hammer stand. My hammers are in the bottom drawer of my tool chest, and they're slowly destroying the slides b/c they're too heavy.
Hope your back feels better!
Hi Al , back is much better today Thanks , same here ,I am desperate for a good hammer rack , you got any ideas
Cheers Rob

My favorite version is basically a pipe welded to an automotive rim, with flat stock run through the ring roller to create a pair of rings, roughly about the size of the automotive rim, one of which is smaller in radius by a hammer handle. Then the rings are supported by cross bars.
Usually, there's a shot bag on top.
Here's a couple:

Hi Lads
Done a bit more work on the forge today , still pondering the hood so decided to make a work rest to support long pieces .I did not want a floor stand , the floor is cluttered enough at time , I wanted something that will work in any position and stow away when not needed .
The Wilson rest

The long tube will have a tee bar thing fitted to support the work and the other end will be welded to the leg of the forge .

Hi Rob, good idea to save floor space, would be handy accessory on other bits of kit too.
As you say looks like it wont be falling apart either
Keep up the good work.

I had an arrangement like that on a window fan in the shop of my former house, but not that sturdy.
Nice work!
