Hello all
Not so long ago i seted up my anvil and stump. After a few rainy days, today i had enough nice weather to finish my first forged blade. Thought to show you

All ready to go

I grinded teeth from an old file, the rod that was welded to it brake off, so the next day welded it to an iron bar

What do you guys think of it?
Thanks for watching
 
If you've got a couple more bricks, you can stack them up to make a top for your forge that will greatly increase your heat and temp control. Like in this pic:

Knife looks great!
 
Really good first effort! Keep up the good work.

Intersting improvised forge you have there.
 
Well done indeed sparrow75:thumbup: Isn't the internet a wonderful thing? Imagine, seeing this all the way from Serbia!!!:):thumbup::) Am i the only one who finds this round the world sharing very cool? :thumbup:
 
That looks like my first forge! :D I can't go back to stock removal now, forging is just too much fun.

Your blade looks a lot better than mine though...welcome to the journey, and good work.
 
Thanks guys, glad you like it. I enjoyed every bit of making it :)
