Blacksmith Makes Shelf Brackets

Watch as ‪@TomFellBlacksmith‬ forges some very strong shelf brackets. As with most of my work I like to keep things simple and allow the processes of simple, quality blacksmithing to show through. A three heat upset decorates each end together with my makers mark. Then a curved forged section is cold riveted under the fly press to add structure and strength. To solve the problem of access to the fixing screw, I have used a joggled fixing band to hold the bracket securely and make fitting that bit easier. These have been a very popular product of mine for years and I thought it would be worth a video showing how I make them so you can see how keeping things simple can still mean beautiful, elegant, and functional with your blacksmithing. Hope you enjoy. Tom
