I'm stopping in looking around, see some nice work. I'm at the library for internet connection doing update downloads... time twiddling my thumbs... thought I'd post what I'm up to. I am working on copper and bronze knives (lost wax casting) this one has fossil walrus handle for a neck knife. IMGP2018.JPG

Below figuring out how to forge copper into the steel (staying away from the cutting edge just for looks)

Geez got an hour to wait for computer updates. Hmmm. Can't bring the grinder or forge to the library. Rats. Anyhow enjoying myself playing with steel, beats working for a living.
