Sheet stock, laid the blade on the sheet, drew a line around it. Added some room for the clearance and cut it out. Used the first for a pattern and made a second plate. Then I formed the edges over to make the shape. A weld around the seam and a quick grind to clean up the edges and there you have it. The bands were made up and hot drifted over the sheath. -
A lady friend asked for a pirate dagger. I did a couple of basic sketches and she picked this style. -

Hard to see, but this blade has a "T" back to give it strength. -

A friend asked for a dagger with a pirate theme. So I realize that this is not what most will call a "dagger" I think she will be happy with it.© Larry House

I live on the edge of a swamp, but have never found any bog iron. Am I not looking under the right rock, no wait, we don't have any rocks here either. Just muck.

Missed my chance to watch and learned this at FitS. Hope I can get to spend some time with you guys again sometime when I don't have as many distractions. Looking forward to it. Larry -
Looking for interest in copper,brass,stainless, bar ends
LarryHouse replied to BIGGUNDOCTOR's topic in Copper Alloys
I would be interested in some copper, the purer the better as I want to melt it down and alloy it myself. Just let me know the cost of a flat rate box. Thanks! Larry -
Some time ago I found a web site that had a detailed set of instructions on forging a very detailed dragon head. It was a abana chapter site I think and the artist styled the dragon with long lips and horns. Very nice. If anyone can direct me to the site I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Larry

Thanks for the invite. Next time I'm near you I'll stop by. I'll check with CBA and see who's around here. Larry

Stories behind smithy/forge names...
LarryHouse replied to elkdoc's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
When I was starting up my little operation in central Texas, we lived on a high hill over looking Canyon Lake. As I would sit on my back deck I could see most of the lake and many miles of shore line. My wife and I collected Dragon figures and we felt as if a watch dragon would pick our home as a perch. So Dragons Watch it was. We have since moved to flat land on the Pearl River delta, but we still like the name. Larry -
