Thought we'd all like to see what a hand forged tool box looks like.  A lot of us would probably miss out  on this.:-)

What a fantastic little puzzlebox to fold and rivet. If I tried to make that, I would wind up in a padded room wearing a sport coat that buckles up the back. GREAT craftsmanship!

Don't forget there's free shipping if your the winning bidder.

Hmm, neat, the door with a slot has a lock, it has to be to put your money in after the job ....

I'm wondering what size fire box his forge used, and what size hammers in the forging...

[rusty]

heh, hmm, eek!

Item location: Jodhpur, RJ, India

So, I'm lost on this one......What part was forged???

Looks like some nice work, but not "forged".

I agree with you Keykeeper, nice hand made box but no hot worked metal here! I guess we have to get use to the fact that English changes over time. "They were forged into a great team and they struck while the iron was hot and ....."  I think even some journalist have only a vague idea of the history/meaning of some metal working words.

or, more succinctly,

some journalist have only a vague idea of the meaning of words....

Yeah, I think "Hand-Wrought" might have been a better description.   Wrought being a derivative of the verb "work".

Yes, that, and I before E except after C was about it for me in English class.....
