Edit: Sorry, looks like you can't watch it in here. I'm guessing you have to have an IG account for the link to work?

The link worked for me but I do have an IG account. However doesn't look like I was signed in.

Cool video. I do not have a IG account, but it let me watch it. Hope all is well John!

I don’t have an IG account but was able to watch it.

Thanks guys, wasn't sure if you had to have an account or not. I don't fool with much social media other than Bladeforums and Instagram. I started an X account a few months ago but haven't posted anything there. Not sure that's worth the effort.

We're doing great, hope you guys are too. I'll be voluntarily unemployed by Thanksgiving and am anxious to say the least!

Thanks for the follow Andy. Learning to forge was a lot like learning leatherwork for me. I beat my head against the wall and didn't seem to gain any ground until all of a sudden it started to click. I still have a ways to go with both skills but am too dumb and stubborn to quit It's insanely satisfying, I don't think anyone would regret giving it a shot.

Had to go to IG to watch (I think that started with the forum update), very cool video.

Thanks, I thought it might give a good idea of how those are forged.

Ironwood on 52100 & bronze 4.75" edge.

Oh those little scratches gotta go, not quite finished. A bit of a different shaping but really gives some nice purchase.

Have been wanting to forge a simple coffin handle. Not much flavor to it but it'll make a nice little blade.

Practicing forging to as close to shape as I can. Started out as a 6×1×1/8" piece. Ended up around 7 1/2" oal.

John, I can't wait to see that little one all finished up. I bet it turns out sweet!

Thanks Dylan, I kept it simple and went with stabilized walnut scales and bronze pins. Heat treat is done, it's ground and ready to handsand. Scales are prepped, I'll glue it up tomorrow, it's a nicd little knife. I've got a ton of sheaths to make so I'll be knee deep in leather this week.
