A

Mark off 5" from one end of the bar as shown in the drawing.

Take a BRIGHT RED heat and place the mark on the rounded edge of the anvil. The first blows with the hammer should be straight downwards

and then at this angle-

With each blow the free end will jerk upwards and start to form the bend for the eye.

B

Take another heat on the partly formed second bend.

Cool out the first bend with water and continue to form eye

like this-

C

Finish the eye over the bick.

Close up by tapping lightly around the outside of the eye and test by trying it over a piece of 1¼" diameter round bar.
