you seriously are a mad man... you need help.. the love of steel is a disease, if you don't get it cured you might be a blacksmith the rest of your life!! get help..

the knife is made out of a spike from a plow.. haha i don't beleive in magic! but i'll try it..

ok here we go.. photobucket account.. let me know if this works. hope you like! there aren't any descriptions on them. http://photobucket.com/albums/a39/sqeezplay/?sc=1

hey.. hhmm if you tell me how to post pics, i will.. but i can't figure out how.. hmm

well how do you? what set-up do you have? what kind of wood do you use? what processes do you use? anything else i missed?

yes i was rather harsh.. (youthfulness) very stupid.. he wasn't that bad.. he just .. well.. how should i put this... he was bragging.. all he did was forge little screwdrivers out of round stock.. he did it all day.. and then he went into a big long explination on how to make charcoal and how he would sit around and make charcoal all day.. and under his forge is a bag of "wild Stans Charcoal" i don't think he's ever made charcoal in his life.. but anyway.. i'll be posting some photo's in the galleries.. look for em.. mostly knifes. I'm being a jerk .. i know.. but it just bugs me.

ello my name is Andrew Davis. i am a 16 year old, homeschooled student from IN. i live on a farm and share a shop with several freinds called "MAD Dwarf Workshop" (the MAD is all of our anitials) this year i plan on going to the IN ren-fair, because last year i went and there was a blacksmith who REALLY REALLY STUNK! he was really bad at blacksmithing. he was what got me into it, by being so bad i couldn't help but be better than him! it drove me nuts... but anyway. i work mostly on tools and knifes, if you ever want to see any of my work just e-mail and ask. thats all for now folks!

how much is coal? i've been using charcoal.. but never thought about using coal. i don't know a thing about it. how much would it cost to fire a forge for 2 hours? are there any toxins in the air when it's firing? i know there is a coal vein about 30 miles from my house. and a charcoal plant like 130 miles from my house.. so whats the best thing to do if you where me?

wow.. those hatchets are amazing! is that knife out of a file? it looks like snake skin. the stag horn knife is really cool too. where are you from MetalMonkey? i would check into a ren-fest of some sort. you could make millions for the stuff you make!

wow.. julian.. thats weird lookin.. haha i don't know what to say.. but NICE JOB!

thanks PJ..

here's my first knife.. it's out of a long screwdriver! this took a couple minutes.. it's meant to be an orcish steak knife..

my forge name is. "MAD Dwarf Workshop" the "MAD" stands for Mason, Andy, and David. (it's a group forge.) although we had some other pretty cool names too.. but just be creative.. don't think about what it looks like on a business card. think of what you make in the shop.
