Lesson 3: 'S' HOOK

A


Take a BRIGHT RED heat and, holding the end of the bar flat on the anvil face, dress to a short bevel with the hammer

like this-

The ends will then close snugly to the middle of the hook when the eyes are closed.

 

B

 

Start to form the first eye by striking the end over the bick like this and continue as in Lesson 2 B.

Repeat on the other end, but with the eye in the opposite direction.

 

C

 

This is the finished hook, with both eyes equal.

Test them over a piece of 1 " diameter round bar and leave the hooks open as shown until the S hook is needed for use.
