ak Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Anyone know a source for the top irons that fasten to the inside of the wooden bodies to which the top bows are attached? Thank you. John Edited October 18, 2017 by ak wanted to click allow replies (see edit history)
Larry Schramm Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 What in particular are you looking for? I might have something that you can use.
trimacar Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 They're usually forgings. The part hidden behind the interior is just thick flat iron. The upper parts, that stick out (two to hold bottom of top bows and two to hold down position top rests, on a runabout), are the parts that need to be forged and shaped. Have any old time blacksmiths around you? It's actually a talent that is being resurrected, my son and I really enjoy watching "Forged in Fire" , seems like a silly show but it's not... 1
