finished knives look good the file work is just like a little make up on a pretty girl just ads that final touch

schafers 90 weight gear lube for oil schafers grease for clutch andpitman on my little giant

most tree saws have the teeth on the inside of the curve of the blade so if it was in that sheath you would have the dull top corner exposed by the hole cut out

nice work the last one with two long pieces is my favorite keep up the good work

nice job and the wife wants more gives you an open door to play at the forge and anvil have fun

i have a mustache but only shave when i feel like it or i am going to need to wear my respirator for grinding.

nice blades with good contrast now the fun part the handles and embellishment

the step by step is great to see thanks for sharing

yett another problem solved on i forge iron

cool video great to see someone enjoying their powerhammer

great looking cross like the copper acents

i never wear gloves to grind with if the steel is to hot to hold with bare hands then cool it down. after heat treating you want to feel the steel so you don't build any heat at all.

at the pka show in Denver there was a maker that had bowie knives with brass splines with no visible junction lines. do not know how he did it .looked like it was 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch. cant remember his name.

just wanted to say thanks Brian you're photos and sharing you're how to is a big help

look on craigs list or post a want add sometimes it will shake one loose at a fair price.

nice job glad you posted it

So what's the best way to weld up a anvil anyhows? Mig or rod, I personally like it when you can just brush the flux off with the back of your glove. Has that been covered here before?
