Fireplace Tools
Above: Three-piece firetool set with stand. This one, 26" tall. The stand is made from three continuous gathered bars, flaring out at the base
to form the legs, and flaring out at the top to form the hanging hooks. The shovel is forged from one homogeneous lump of iron,
spread out sideways at one end to form the shovel and drawn out lengthwize at the other to form the handle. Made sized to your fireplace or stove.
Below: Another, similar, this one 32" tall. With detail photos of the shovel forged integrally from one solid block of steel, and of the top of the stand with its integral supporting hooks.
Detail: top of set. Note the tapering shafts of tools, reaching their thickest diameter at the top, and then tapering again to the curled tail at the end of the twisted loop.

To fulfill your concept, made especially for you, takes time. If you are considering some custom hardware for a project you are undertaking, please consider ordering it in parallel with your project rather than waiting until you are ready to install. If you can order it enough in advance, it will be far more likely that it will be ready for you when you are ready for it.
