These classic blacksmith hooks are hand forged from heavy duty 5/16 in recycled steel, and are an excellent example of beauty through function. The simple j hooks or "thumbprint" hooks are extremely strong and virtually unbreakable, completely hand made and completely unique.
(Due to high demand it may take me between two to four weeks to get these finished up and shipped out, if you need them sooner let me know and we can make arrangements to try and expedite them, thank you. Tim)
These extra heavy duty hooks are perfect for all kinds of different uses, and can be easily installed wherever you need to hang things! They are made out of heavy gauge 5/16 in steel, and can handle in excess of 200 or 300 lb. they work well for hanging your your coat, a place to hang your hat or your purse, and can be used for more structural uses like hanging a hammock or installing larger hanging items.
The hooks are each custom made, and i can make them in several different sizes, ranging from 1" to 4" depending on the size you want when ordering them. The smaller sizes come with a single mounting hole, but the three and four inch have a larger back plate with two holes for a more solid installation. If you'd like the smaller hooks to also have two mounting holes then go ahead and leave me a message when you order and I will gladly customize them for you. I measure these based on the inside diameter of each hook, so a 1 inch hook will have a 1 inch inside diameter, and the outside dimensions will be 2 inches by 3 inches, and the larger hooks have the same size ratio.
Hand forged from steel, these are meant to last, and can hold a surprising amount of weight, I always strive to design my hooks to maximize strength while maintaining a lighter, and more airy style, so I think you will find these are much heavier duty than they appear, this particular design will easily accommodate over 200 pounds of weight!
All of my items are hand forged by me when you order them, so it will take me 1 to 2 weeks to get your order shipped out, and since each item is custom made after you place the order, be sure to let me know if there are any customizations or changes you want included with your items when you place your order.
Please note that since each item is hand forged from scratch, the appearance may vary from piece to piece.
All of my hooks are made from low carbon steel, which has the possibility of rusting, but I have a couple of different finish options in order to protect your items for years of use. The traditional blacksmiths finish is to apply a layer of beeswax on the metal when it's still hot which creates a tough water resistant matte finish that will work very well on all indoor items, or in protected outdoor areas with care. However for higher moisture environments and for direct sun outdoor exposure, I can apply a heavy duty outdoor polyurethane coating, which is much more rust resistant.
Remember though, that any finish is going to wear off eventually, so if you do start noticing rust developing then you can buff it out with steel wool or a wire brush, and then apply a paste wax to renew the finish. And be sure to let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the finish of your hooks, I'm always glad to answer any questions you have.
