Looks like fun! Nice work!
It's getting easier now that my workbench is built and I don't have to bend over like I did when I was using a broken old computer table
Before ⬇
My forge is built from a propane tank and the burner from pipe and Mig nozzle
Second forge is from a scrap oxygen tank
And along with those is my 2X72 sander witch is scrap tubing and we'll I had to buy the pulleys and the motor all for around $265
You might not see but I added an extension to the drill press so I could add the cross vise .
Oh and if anyone buys a 9" or 10" band saw I highly recommend changing out whatever blade it comes with for a "Timberwolf" brand saw blade

Music ?
Sorry I goggled just the word without adding Knife after it.
I'm sure I can manage one.
I'm trying to afford what I need to build a third propane forge specifically designed for forge welding (not that I need forge welding temps for a Kwaito)

Just one more take on a lawnmower machete.
Blade thickness is 0.132
Blade width is 2" 1/4
Blade length is 12" 3/4
Overall length is 19" 5/8
Handle is my homemade denim micarta held together with epoxy and 1/4" brass pins
You're not calling that done are you ?
Go chopping for an hour and see where the blisters form.
Then round those corners
No it wasn't finished,the guy I made it for wanted it rough so he could shape it for his hands cause like I'm sure you know all hands aren't the same.
Thank you for your post
