Biggest smith-made leg vise I've ever seen. Thats my 3# hammer in the shot for reference. The jaws are 12 inches wide and it weighes close to 200lbs. -
My work anvil at the Museum -
Same as the other listing, with dramatic lighting. -
Another great leafspring blade with oak handle, buffalo hide grip and forged brass hilt. Made as a christmas gift for a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan and god mother to both my children. -
This was a comission peice I did for a Cherokee man in NC. I was made from a section of leafspring and was textured by hot rasping before hardening and tempering. -
I made a pair for my brother in law and haven't been able to keep them in giftshop. -
I'm the Blacksmith at the Museum of Appilachia. I've been really busy as of late but would love to meet with you. I'm currently only at the forge on Saturdays right now but I think we can get together next week. Give me a call at 865-216-6225. You can come out and have a pound.

I had the same thing happen to a student during a punch and chisle making class. 1/4 inch square punch of high carbon iron. Student quinched at dark red and you could hear the tinkle of the steel. I warned him not to quinch too hot. He held it up and it slipped out of his tongs and popped when it hit the ground. Put a pair of metal chips in his calf. Ouch!
