Very axeiting work Basher thanks for sharing. Chris

Hi Montana7 i agree with you i think they would be very happy indeed to chris en there hawks any way they decided to , it is beer time too. Chris.

Hi Joseph , I use my drift and forge the material around to get the size and taper . that will give you a good indication where to start welding . after welding i heat the eye grab the hawk by the blade put the drift in and stretch ajust the eye by hitting the eye if needed but people do thing different ,so this is only one way have fun . Chris

Hi Joseph nice shape hawk mate .may i suggest you forge weld right up to the eye other wise the handle will keep coming loose no matter how many wedges you wack in . and if its a thrower i would have at least another half inch out of the eye , thank you for sharing . Chris

Well thank you very much Thomas not interested in some thurb revolition or any other stuff , very happy with just basic manners again than you have a great day and namaste. Chris

Hi Steve thank you. Chris

No probs Thomas but i do have a name . Chris

Thomas your not getting the drift the hawk will cut with the best of them if called upon to be used its a tool first . you may damage her clothes but still a lady under neath Chris

Hi Thomas i think you may be the stirrer LOL . All decoration is added not replacing by ,overlays , inlays or chiseling , but you could gold damacene the piug and inlay a diamond without changing its strength or usability same as making a hawk you dont go to all that trouble of making a hawk hardening and tempering then aneal the object to decorate it and make it totaly usless as i said before its just icing on top of the cake strong foundation first just like building a house then you can do anything .. Chris

Hi Thomas no matter how highly decorated a firearm is its first basic princable was to be shot thats about all i can say Chris

Hi Ten Hammers I see it as a lady that is plainly dressed and one that is highly dressed still a lady either way you look at her . Your right tho a time and place for everything people have different views and this makes life so interestng Thank you Chris.

Hi Thomas thank you very much appreciate . Chris

Hi Montana7not realy a computor person sorry . Chris

Hi Mat thank you, i cant realy give a good answer on that .first is the forging then ,,cleaning up then hardening and tempering then clean up after that .then engraving next making the haft spoke shaving the haft to shape then the leather as well as you see time gets away a bit mate , never go by time so i never realy bother about the clock sorry . Chris

Hi Thomas not sure about that dada or surrelism stuff i just do what i want to do dont follow any movment that started in the 20s Micheal Angelo once said David was in there i just brought him out . i forge and bring out what i think is ok i dont have name tags to put on style heres another for your name tags forged from 1045 German style blacksmiths hammer . Chris

Hi macbruce your very kind i must say thank you . Chris

Hi Mat never thought of that mate i will leave that for the experts , im not and dont claim to be either , Chris

Hi Thomas Powers glad you like .If i was going for the so called dada look i would have gone a lot further than what you see here i would have inlaying diamonds in the eyes and gems all over it but i think that would be a bit over dressed even for this lady but easy done tho . thank you . Chris

Thank you Montana7 your very kind Chris
