Blacksmithing For Beginners - Shutter Dog

[@TalRohan]

Ive never seen these before so thankyou for sharing this one, It seems like such an important little project to have gone un-noticed (by me) for so long

Love seeing these older historic type pieces.

..Good job Mr. Denis ! I enjoy watching a craftsman make a functional piece of hardware...!!

Excellent work, really enjoying your video post! Keep up the good work.

I really enjoy this type of smithing. Functional historic pieces and you sir are a great teacher. Maybe a dumb question but, historically how were they hung to the house? Bracket riveted to the blunt end, forged out at the end of the to a 90 and punched for square nails, or made like a hammered-in hook.

The ones I saw over here in Europe were on stone houses, and those were simply cemented in. No idea how they were commonly attached to wooden houses though.

I have enjoyed all your videos, and I thank you for taking the time to make them. I am curious if you can give me the dimensions of your anvil. I plan on just making one, but I would just be guessing on size.

The face is 5" X 16". The horn is 10"1/2 long and it starts from a block that is 3"3/4 at he body of the anvil. The overall height is 12" and the base is 11"1/2 wide by 12"1/2 long. My hardy hole is 1"1/4 and the pritchel hole is 3/4". Good Luck - Send me a picture when you are done.

Just found your channel and I like it. Instead of a file could you have used a monkey tool to dress the shoulder of the pin while hot? Thanks
