First, here are the projects from the beginner class at Brookhaven:

- Square punch
- Round punch
- Hot cut chisel
- Bottom fuller made from 1/2 round stock
- Square Nail Header
- Lots of nails
- Bolt tongs
DMS projects (I’ve participated in)
- Horseshoe heart
- Fireplace poker (requires forge welding)
