First attempt at forging a poker

[Adam Savage]

Here's my first attempt at forging a poker. Ok, it's not totally forged, as the ring was already on the end of the bar, but I forged the spike and twist into it. Just painted with smooth hammerite at the minute, but will paint with stove paint when it gets grubby.

Thats cool I will get something sorted for the start of the New year as Africa could be of at 150 Quid for injections :( We could experiment with bricks then and watch them explode :D

Sounds like a plan, I have a bench mark, as Ivan threw a full coleman gas canister on the fire once, which made a mahoosive boom. We never saw that half of the fire again....:D
