Forging cat head chest handles - Blacksmithing @BlackBearForge

Black Bear Forge | Forging cat head chest handles - Blacksmithing @BlackBearForge | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
This pair of chest handles is based on a set I did many years ago. I haven't made a pair in quite sometime. So when someone asked about them I thought it would be a fun project. The back plates in the shape of a cats head were laser cut, but could be done with a band saw, plasma cutter or even a chisel.

$How am I framing the windows on the Log Cabin Doors and windows arent very flexible but a log wall is a dynamic wall system and it needs to be able to expand, contract and settle. The solution is a door or window buck that provides a fixed opening for the door or window while allowing the wall to move around it. Todays video looks at how I achieve these goals on the little homestead cabin.

$Not exactly the way we planned Trying to re use the logs from an old homestead cabin never goes quite the way you expect it too. The tags telling us which log goes where fell off years ago and many of the old logs were too rotten to use. This leaves the old cabin a bit more quirky than we originally intended.
