I made a forged crochet hook

I absolutely love my forged knitting needles, so when I had the chance to spend some more time in a forge, I decided to make a crochet hook to match.
This time, I was visiting my friend and fellow KZbinr Rasmus in Norway. He was kind enough to show me the ropes and help me figure out how to approach it. The shape of a crochet hook is quite intricate, but with a combination of forging, grinding and filing, I got it to a point where it works very well!

Good damn ... I should've at least tried to clean the workshop before we did all the recording. Anyway, excellently done Ellen! We can always polish up the crochet hook a bit more if you need more slipperiness.

Love this!

[@ziree22]

Wil je de haaknaald ook in hout maken ?, ben benieuwd hoe dat in z'n werk gaat 🤔

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Friend maker teaching another friend maker how to make a thing to make more things. Perfect.

[@TheElephantWorks]

I love that you call youself a "beginner blacksmith"! That means you see yourself as a blacksmith and that is so cool!

[@awesomeinprogress4189]

So cool Ellen😁 making your own tools are definently a good thing both for learning about the tool and for the enhoyment of it when you use it😊 great video😉👌

[@CraftsWithEllen]

My thoughts exactly! Thanks Terje 😊

[@whazee]

Whooo! Maker team up for the win! 😄👍 Forged scissors are definitely something to add to this roster of making!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Scissors are definitely on the list!!

[@PJGalati]

nicely done. Seems like all the focus for blacksmithing is on larger more "chunky" items, but this is much more refined.

[@MaltandMake]

Well isn't that just the coolest!

[@SylviePereiraSyPer]

This is something that looks easy to do, but actually, it has to have the perfect shape to work. Making a knife is way easier ! Can't wait for the next project ! and wander what will it be ?

[@CornerfieldShop]

Nicely done 👌 Respect voor wat je allemaal doet en maakt! I'll be watching you 😁✌️

[@Everythings_Adjustable]
