This is a truck axle and hub, cut the axle to form a hardy post. Grind the lugs to a round top. Make a centre pin guide and fit on a hot blank. depress the centre and get a lilly pad candle pan big enough for Jeremy to sit on. (dancing Frog) -
This will look backwards cause it was an iron-on, but its a toon of my grandson and his best friend -
Just thinking about blacksmithing can be a hammering experience -
IForgeIron Blueprints Copyright 2002 - 2011 IFORGEIRON, All rights reserved BP0395 Easy Punches by sfDuck I just happened to have a few butchers steels hanging around and suddenly the light bulb turned on. They were cast steel, hardened and able to sharpen stainless. If you removed the handles and tangs they would make nice extra long punches. That Easy. Rework the ends and they could become any shape you could imagine. And can pick more up cheap at the local flea market. View full article

Heres the blade, and a sculptured silver sailboat to give you an idea of the size -

This is an old neck knife with old macarta, check out the colour patina. I was asked to scrim the handle and later the knife came back to me. -
heres another view -
I got this blade in another trade and when my daugher saw it she claimed it for wearing at camp. All I had to do was put a handle on it. So a brass guard a couple of spacers and some moose antler later, Oh, then she said so wheres the case Dad. Thats a penny on the handle to show the size -

This is another kit knike, making the handle is the hardest part for this knife. Finishing up all the parts in the kit is just a matter of fitting sanding and polishing. -
Heres the shot of the liner -
The other side -
This is the other Solengen blade blank I got. This time I used sheet silver to line the ivory and filed the edge a little, and brass to make the bolster. Again brass pins. -
The other side -
This one was dropped and had to be repaired at the lanyard hole. -
File work would have been nice but the blade had already been hardened. -
This is one of the blank Solengen Blades I got in a trade. All I had to do was clean it up a bit and polish it. The ivory is Walrus tooth and has a silver spacer that is file worked and pinned with brass.The bolster is brass shaped to the blank. -
Scein Duie or black knife was taken from its hiding place on the body and stuck in the top of the stocking so it would show and tell your good intentions. -
