This is my first post on BF so I thought I would show you guys some of my work. A couple blades and other things I have made.
Please let me know what you think.

The stacked guard on the top knife is nicely done, and I like the bolsters and wood on the second one from the bottom. The top knife has kind of a ground-then-buffed-over-scratches look that I'm not crazy about, and the design on the bottom piece seems a bit awkward to my eye. I do like that you seem to take some chances and find some success on construction. Just my two cents, I see much to like in your work but also want to give honest feedback.

I like that old anvil, the face looks just a bit tired but some good life left still. Looks a lot like an old Peter Wright #119 I had a while back...
