Thanks guys. This is not my first. Been forging for some time now, but have been focusing on knives. Decided it was time to get back to blacksmith work, my second love after my wife (playing safe). This was forged in my knife forge. Had to leave my coal forge behind when we moved and although I live near one of the largest coal terminals in the world now, I can't get coal, so everything is gas now. Main vine started as a 400mm x 25mm round bar, after drawing out = 980+mm, so I was a bit tired to dress my welds and when I tried to pencil grind them later it didn't look so good. Thankfully I started at the back so it didn't mess everything up.
Got four Damascus knives to finish so should do another in about 3-4 weeks. Will take pics of the process.
