Does anyone have any recommendations for monitoring power usage of appliances like fridges or hot water tanks? Specifically something compatible with home assistant? I have whole home consumption and want to understand the random usage spikes I get. #HomeAssistant #SelfHosted #EnergyMonitoring

I hadn't been to the smithy in about a month, so I went last night. I forged another wine stake for someone that asked for one and a charcoal rake for my sister.
I've had a few requests for wine stakes. Maybe I'll buy enough to make a dozen or so to have on hand for when people ask about them.

Listen to the sounds of a modern blacksmith shop. Enjoy the visuals and the sonic atmosphere. It's hard to convey the vibe of a blacksmith shop and here is my attempt.

I am exploring and experimenting with creating the ellusive Wolf Tooth Pattern - seen in Viking times but challenging to recreate! Let me know what you think.

Here is a photo of my second wine stake in use. I ended up giving the first to a friend and haven't gotten an in-use photo. I gave this one to my sister when we were at her place for dinner over the weekend.
The design of this one is a bit better. The angle of the opening makes it easier to get a glass in and out. Also, it doesn't have a decorative leaf, which somewhat gets in the way too. She used this one all afternoon into the evening with what looked like zero effort.
The two people drinking (my partner and my sister) were enjoying a glass of champagne from 2005 in celebration of a significant life event for my sister. They tell me it was incredibly good champagne.

I completed the cooper's driver. I'm happy with how it turned out. I only need to oil the handle and it'll be ready to be used.
I only hardened the working end so the struck end will be less likely to chip or damage the hammer that strikes it. I tempered it pretty far back so that it's tough since it doesn't need to be super hard since it will only be used on mild (softer) steel hoops.
I wasn't sure how much to file the groove on the working end (the peen-like end), so I left it how it is now figuring I could adjust it later.

I'm going to the smithy with the intent of finishing the cooper's driver this afternoon. With any luck, I'll have a completed driver hung on a handle this evening.

I started forging a cooper's driver today. I got the eye punched and drifted, the working end forged out, the struck end forged and shaped, and some rough filing on it.
Next time I'm there, I'll do some more filing to get the ears symmetrical, and I'll need to flatten the working end and start filing in a groove because it'll be too difficult when it's hardened. I need to harden and temper it too. I can likely get all that done next time in addition to hanging a handle.

Preparing Kebab Barg requires a proper knife. So, let's forge one! This is going to be a mighty blade constructed from both high-carbon steel and wrought iron to give it an authentic feel. Enjoy.

I haven't bought anything leather for many years, but I do have a few things from before I became vegan that are leather. I have a belt that is too big and a pair of sandals that should be tighter. So today, I forged a punch that hopefully will let me punch a few holes. I don't need it to last long, 5 punches would be great. It'd be nice if it worked well and held up for a lot longer than that so I didn't just waste this tool steel on this.

The Viking spear gets a wrought iron core; requiring lots of forge welding!

RE: https://sunny.garden/@dustin/116577113983538072
While doing the final drift, the handle of the last hammer I made broke. I guess it decided that it was no longer needed.
