This Is the Most Upsetting Thing You’ll See Today
This will be the most upsetting thing you see today.
And yes — blacksmiths really call it that.
Upsetting is a traditional blacksmithing technique where hot steel is driven back into itself, making it thicker without adding material. In this short, I upset both ends of a long bar to form the simple finials for a sturdy curtain rod.
Old techniques, modern shop — forged at DeWall’s Forge.
