[01-2883] I am taking a stab at posting a picture of a cold meat fork I made for my wife. It is my variation of an old pattern we have here at ONC. I'm not sure I understand all Scott's directives for posting photos, so it may not work. middletom IP: Logged |

The first fork you put up is one we call a Neptune fork. Yesterday I tried putting that one through because of the problems I was having with the first fork. Several years ago someone from California sent us a fork like that that had been made by Shreve & Co. and he wished to have us make a copy. I planned it out and made the template and when he found out the price, we never heard from him again. We've had the template hanging on the wall for a few years and two years ago two gentlemen who are antique dealers and good customers of ours saw the template and ordered one made. So, I made two so that we could have one on display in our showroom. It is quite large and I don't know what it was intended to serve. The other fork is the cold meat fork that I had originally intended to post. Thank you, Jersey, for your enthusiastic comments about the Neptune fork. For Christmas my wife will be getting a fish serving knife and fork set. I don't have to worry about spoiling the surprise because she doesn't touch the computer. I am going to try to post more pictures soon but now have to go get the fixings for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. middletom IP: Logged |

 This is a picture of the nutmeg grater that I made for my niece last year. The grater piece to the left is made from stainless steel with the little loop handle being sterling. I'm sorry it is a bit out of focus. My camera is not the best. I'm trying some pictures of our shop. middletom IP: Logged |

 This is what we call our bending bench where we do final bending and shaping of flatware pieces. Theleg vices in the center and at either end are used for other hammering, too. middletom IP: Logged |

 This is a view of my anvil on its block. When we moved to the basement of the building we found that the cement floor sloped down from the sides toward the center of the room. Our solution for leveling the anvils was to pour a pad of pewter enclosed in a metal frame. Being liquid, it formed a level surface on which to place an anvil block. The anvil is a large blacksmith anvil from which the tail and horn have been cut. middletom IP: Logged |

Yes, the variation that I made is the cut out area on the right side of the fork. I won't make another like it. middletom IP: Logged |
