Awesome work Gerhard! Sign of a good blacksmith? Forging bare foot.
..which grabbed and threw the blade with two brass anchors attached into the cement floor..
Mate, That is a real piece of work! Quote ..which grabbed and threw the blade with two brass anchors attached into the cement floor.. What happened?
Thanks everybody I learned an important lesson making this knife, it's not something I'd normally have made, but everybody that seen it loves it.My one big concern was weight and balance thanks to all that brass, but despite having a nice thin blade the knife balances on the front guard I posted these 11pm....until I couldn't see straight.......I'll try to get the last pics up tonight. It's 99% done and my Dad has started with his sheath.......he's my new leather man Thanks again for the compliments and positive feedback.....very much appreciated Quote from: gerleatherberman on November 30, 2018, 04:10:31 AMAwesome work Gerhard! Sign of a good blacksmith? Forging bare foot. perhaps a sign of a stupid blacksmith.....no I don't....just take photos bare feet
Thanks again everybodyMonday morning and all I have for you is excuses, but I think you'll understand when I share the photos of what we did this "weekend"Saturday evening I had Handi Chicken from my regular Indian place, followed by the best nights' sleep I've had in months.Working yourself to a standstill seems to be healthy......lots of that in my future
