Chuck has this great picture of a set of small ornaments a friend of his made with a forge and 3 lb. hammer. Reader Whiteforge posted this little key chain lying across a similar hammer that, I’m guessing, came to life in much the same way.
It’s always amazing to me that such small, rather delicate-looking objects can be made with brute force and three pounds of steel hitting it repeatedly. I would most likely lose patience and make an ashtray out of everything, like I did when I was a kid and had to work with clay.

Actually, that’s an earring, and the hammer is attached to it. Very bold statement.
So…where can I buy that keychain? It’s awesome!
Put two groves in it, it’s an ashtray. Try to make a shoeshine box, screwed up. Turned it into an ashtray. Why’s the ashtray got shoe polish? someone asks? Different kinds, you know.
