BLACKSMITH ’ S JOURNAL ARCHIVE

#33 May 1993

We covered how to make a rope

pulley in issue 33. This feature

can be used to make the pulleys

needed for the snatch block in

this months issue.

2626

The double block on the left in the photo is probably the product of a rural

American blacksmith who made it in a time when many depended on local crafts-

men for their needs. It exemplifies the ingenuity of local blacksmiths serving

small communities. The most interesting feature of the original block is the way

in which the eye wraps around the yoke. In this feature, an attempt is made to

replicate the techniques used in making the block. It’s interesting to note that

the pulleys are cast iron and appear to be original. Refer to issue 33 for infor-

mation on how to forge handmade pulleys.
