Trying to Qualify

[Robert Dark]

Well, I am trying to qualify as an "NT-Monkey-Smokin'-Frog-Lickin'-Limp'n-Rabbit......something or other.

I did these two this weekend as an experiment (mainly to help me learn something about hammer control). I have only been trying this forgin' stuff for a couple or three months, and I have discovered that I was only able to "forge thick", and "grind thin".

These two helped me on my learning curve.

I showed them to a fellow-employee today at my real job, and..................He ordered six of them similar to the top one.

Anyway......... These were made from 1084, propane, and Natural Light. Had lots of fun, and they are as sharp as they wanna be. (Missing fingerprints on my pointing finger are a true testimony):lol Finish on the handles are "Yellow Mustard" (need to do a couple more coats)

Old and simple-minded news to most of you, but I am "Stoked"

Thanks for lookin'................Robert

Forging steel is a very addictive work. The thrill does not appear to deminish over time. Not for me , anyway. 7 years or so. I like what you have made here. Keep on pounding and enjoy as you learn. Fred
