Chinobi Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 lol, welcome back! :) if you are employing someone else to do your smithing ask if they would be willing to at least let you watch while they work (if you have the time) or if you could help or participate. that would make for some good education and practice and set you off on the right path to learning :) looking forward to the pics that you will certainly bring us of the process and product :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastRonin Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thank you esseeman. I found it in a closet in the house my wife inherited from her grandparents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvil Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 one more note. as I remember horn gets soft when soaked in water and is pliable. put the wet horn in the socket and insert an inner form to fit the horn to the iron. thus trick tight joinery betwixt horn and iron. alas I usually fit the iron to whatever, but this is pretty quick and dirty fitting.
