  2. here is a ladle,with copper handle all forged this is my second one. first one donated to iron in the hat. you are supposed to keep the first you've made but oh well it went to a great cause. thanks for lookin
  3. Hers a band saw steel and cocobolo kitchen knife. Got tired of old shabby knifes that never stay sharp. this ones like a little razor, hope the wife don'tcut herself:D
  4. 100 percent clay cat litter will also work for lining forge just soak in water for few hours before putting in the forge. just my 2 cents worth
  5. looks good your on your way. a litttle profileing and a couple bevels your in business. keep tryin it gets easier the more you do it.
  6. started forging knives at 37 got really interested in blacksmithing at 40. hopefully I can continue until Im really old.

  9. my first its whitetail antler and 1095:D
  10. I use a forced air forge and have great luck uses a lot less propane than a venturi and you can control how much or how little heat you need. It was cheap to build also you dont have to figure out what jet size you need or anything.
  11. I use lots of hay rake teeth for patchknives . they are 1095 simple carbon,personally I use transmission fluid or the wifes used veggy oil.temperd back to a straw color on the edge they make tough little knives. just my 2 cents worth
  12. I have a forced air and a venturi the forced air burner is very simple to build andreaches welding heat easily
  13. About 4 years ago my buddy brought a hunting knife to work for us too look at. I ask where did you get this having a great appreciation for knives, he said he made it. So I was off like making knives so good I then decided I wanted more ,blacksmithing you get to make everything not just knives. So I started reading a lot goin to demos and Im hooked. Learn something from everybody Im around NOW I have my wife hooked too shes just making hooks and stuff for now till her hammer control gets better.
