Heart finial wall hook - the problem with using salvaged steel - hook of the week 3 HD

for this weeks hook of the week, I start with a piece of 1/4 x 1 1/2" flat bar and quickly remind myself of the risks of working salvaged material. Turns out to be high carbon steel that is quite difficult to forge. My name is John Switzer, thank you for watching.
