Al Massey here- Hello to all, new to this forum...

[althesmith]

...although I've been a regular on swordforum and Don Fogg's Bladesmith Forum for years now. Posting here first as I consider myself more a swordsmith than bladesmith.
Got a website up and running, rather a DIY project, here.

All the best to everyone for the new year.

Damascus swords? SWEET!

Actually I'm currently working on a pattern-welded szabla. Planning a ladder-pattern about 400 layer piece.

Welcome. I'll look forward to seeing you go orange so we can get a better look at your pieces.

Very nice work. Welcome.
