I've made very pretty blades with rebar, but am unsure as to their integrity as of yet, i havent finished i.e, polished, sharpened or made decent handles for them. but it is very easy to work with to get the hang of things

My dad and i acquired a brake drum from a semi, and we cut about six inches off of it, and mounted it on a propane burner stand, it stands about three or three and a half feet tall, and works quite well. Have a look: http://www.youtube.com/user/inumarudurglaur#p/a/u/0/f0wtUPkXgvM

that is a very creative bowie. 8/10!

i do the same, i just hit my work area with a combo of round up and 24d, so its just dead and smashed grass. big stump holds my 65 lb anvil, and ive turned out some good knives in my yard lol
