Forged Chisels

These Chisels are forged from 20mm diameter mild steel.  

They are 200mm long and have a 50mm tapered point which are sharpened on the grinder before the customer receives them.

The customer then machines the end and fits a brass coupling which attaches to drain rods.  These chisels then have a hard life down the sewers.

Anything is possible.

I think these figure eights came out quite nicely.  

Foundry Handling Equipment

We recently had inquiries for four different types of handles to be used in a foundry.  After tooling up for the job these are our first samples.  

For more pictures of items we have bent in house, please see our gallery page. 

Coming Soon to arthurblack.com

We are currently (in between our fullfilling orders) in the process of making up some of our 'stock' items and plan to include photos of them shortly.  Mooring Rings, Shackles, Chain Links, Ground Anchors and more will soon be uploaded to the Gallery pages with detailed descriptions of dimensions, material composition and safe working loads.  

Quite often we get asked to make something of a certain size that will be wholly inadequate for its intended use.  Other times we get asked to make something that may only need to be half the size.  We aim to help you, by keeping your costs down, so that you will order from us again in the future. 

Have a nice day.

Bosun's Chairs

At Arthur Black (General Smiths) Ltd we produce these steel framed Bosun's Chairs.  We have recently seen a rise in demand in this particular product and so have upped our production so that we now carry a small amount of stock items ready to ship to customers quickly.

The steel frames and fiberglass seats allow for a longer and more effiecient work period as the person being suspended does not tire as quickly as he/she would do in a harness alone.  These seats are tested and galvanised, ensuring that the product will be safe to use and will be hardy enough to last in most climates.
