Frustrating and exciting at the same time. Making mistakes and at the same time discovering new things about this process. Your a few steps ahead of me but I can relate, as the forging is becoming easier, and problems are resolving themselves, new unexpected problems arise. There is much more to this than I had imagined. The forging and heat treat are taking all my attention. Handles ,I haven't attempted yet. You're taking on a lot at one time, and doing very well. The blade shape looks good and I've found the recasso area to be very difficult. You've got a couple of good looking blades and I can see you're progressing nicely on all fronts. Keep up the good work and keep posting.

Nice layout, I see you have music, very important. Enjoy

ME Too....

I'll be right behind you.:D

Nice work! How thick is the copper in each piece, and were they annealed often in your process?

Sounds like you had some fun, as long as you're not in a hurry. Creativity is lacking do to Buy It Now. Keep up the good work.

I like 'em all, but #3 the most, real sleek, what's the handle wrap? The wood grain,as forged blade, and shiny edge all compliment each other, very nice.

Just checked mine... 78# ser. # 115139 I don't know how to check or find the year.

I did a lot searching on the net for pole barn construction, and I see a lot of existing barns in my work (electrician). A builder I work for has built a lot of these and assured me this is the cheapest way to go, and I agree after pricing other methods. Be happy to answer any questions I can. Mark

Woke up to this sun rise. barn progress- eves on the gable ends today, and tin roof next week I'm excited, Thanks for looking. Mark
