A rose mace comes to mind.

Not a bad idea. better then a fruitcake.

Well that's a new one to me, giraffe shin bone. Should have enough for a whole lot of beautiful knives. as always, thanks for sharing your great work.

If I'm understanding what you wrote, you probably wouldn't have to worry about the wood handle after getting the metal forge welded. It probably will have burned off by then. Or were you talking about electric welding? Or gas welding?

Snow here in southwestern PA. fluctuates. Sometimes we get a lot, sometimes a little. Here it can snow a foot then warm up and rain and wipe it away to a muddy soupy mess, then maybe freeze, or just warm up a little. I remember one snow fall a few years ago where my brother and I had to trudge and dig our way down our road either end ( half mile each way) through 3 or more feet of snow cutting up all the fallen trees just so they could/would plow our road that wasn't touched for 2 days. My mother got her van stuck trying to go to work, and I got my truck stuck after pulling her out. My brother and I shoveled and winched it out the next morning. The power was also out for a week, and me having the only 4wd truck in the family at the time found the only local store that had a generator in the area to buy water and other supplies. I also remember a heavy snowfall as a kid where we built igloos out of 3 feet of snow, and they didn't plow the road for 3 days or so and I remember my mother complaining (being a nurse) that she Had to get to work. But as a kid that was Fun for me and my 2 brothers, playing in that much snow. Just before the end of our sled riding hills was usually barbed wire or jagger bushes and we survived lol. you learn how to duck and cover real fast. So yeah, more fun as a kid then an adult having to be places or take care of stuff.

Wow nice work CT. Excellent work with the repurposing and styling. Love the chain upright. I bet that was fun to weld.

Boo, it's never too late to heat it back up and wire brush it until it's out of your possession completely.

So it's a brush on?

Yeah Aus the red paint does make him look more fierce. Even rust color would work well on them. Look forward to seeing your tyrannosaurus wrench.

That's a nice stout anvil Wayne. What does it weigh?

I think that Tubalcain meant that the Grammar Hammer is striking you Smoggy

Some times you just gatta bash some steel, and if you come out of it with something useful all the better. When I need to just bash some steel and don't have a plan I usually just make leaf keychains. It's one of those automatic things for me now.

I would venture a wild guess at it being a Trenton. Nice anvil either way.

Beautiful "nothing fancy" work. Hope the surgery goes well.

I think they look great. Nice work.

That guy does have some full character Aus. Funny thing is I've had a couple of these pipe wrenches on the table in que to be made into some grasshoppers. If only they were painted green.

Echidna got a new coat! Looks only slightly different. Is that a flat clear?

Same here Jimmy. You are welcome back anytime. Zeroclick, what Thomas said. I relearn that lesson on occasion but less often now.

CT, when that happens you did really good. Guess Aus is right.

Thank you Tubalcain, Jimmy.

Thank you Farmall. We do and I have faith it will.

Thank you SLAG.

On a bit of an update, some things seem like they are better, not sure how things will go. But my brother was admitted to the mental health ward at the hospital today after a meeting with a psychiatrist at a health center. He is supposed to be in for 3 to 4 days. Hopefully they can help. I will deffinately be keeping a close eye. Prayers for him and the family are still welcome and appreciated beyond words.

Nice work Donniev

Theo, that's one cool looking blade! I can see a lot of awesome potential in patterns with this style. Keep at it.
