Welcome

Very nice, love the hammer.

Belson Steel in Kankakee. Have any HR that you would probably need

Thanks JLP, the top pic shows it pretty well.

Pics of the face?

Very nice !! Sits on the anvil nicely too

Check out DF in the shop on you tube. I think he shows how to make them.

Center drill for a lathe

Very nice!

And-----does whatever the anvil is sitting on when tested have how much to do with rebound depending on what it was tested with? Just wondering.

Ag lime is what I have. Worked on concrete for 45 years. Don't want  it at home. What oldgoaly and anvil said.

I give up. The shoulder?

Guess I have something to do the next couple of nights! This should be an interesting thread to follow! Can't wait. Thanks again.

Nuther good one! Thanks

Still better than not fishing!

Some real good info. Thanks

Congrats!!! You do know the EASY part is over, right!

It is definitely worth yor time  (grin). Whatever you want to hammer out I will watch you.

Wow. Nice!

Gonna need a bigger trailer ! ?

Exactly.  Nuff said

I see a difference between the thought processes here. Seems most from the other side of the pond think in terms of weapons and us guys over here think of them as tools. Personally I have never thought of a knife as more than a tool because that's all I have ever HAD to use one for and I never leave the house without one. Must be the Eagle Scout in me or maybe the monoliths on this side of the pond were somehow different? IMHO

I like Crocodile Dundee's definition of a knife

Casey, check out IVBA. Pretty sure there are Blacksmiths that belong to IVBA that live around your area.
