    The cleavage dragons are fun to watch being made. Tent pegs are easy, quick but a tad boring unless you have a nice design in mind. Sporks are fun too! As has been said strikers are easy, but mind the chit chat with high carbon in the fire

    As TP said traditional smiths work in WI, but it's mighty hard to get hold of in some places. I luckily have about 200lbs of it (minus my anvils) that I managed to salvage from an old barn in Berkshire. not really sure how available it is in the americas, probably depends on the state!

    For me, a min of 1.5hr is a reasonable amount of time to warrant the fuel. Usually I just carry on tinkering till I get tired, one missed hit and it's time to call it a day!

    Thanks for the info guys. Do they all have that taper visible when looking at them head on that Dylan mentioned?

    Any of you out there that have any tips for spotting a Soderfors in a crowd without any obvious marks? The feet appear to be similar to Peter wright with the little step on them; correct? Anything else that screams Soderfors that I should be looking for?

    ... Wow

    I second kozzy, you can find work surface if you look for it! About an inch and a half before the Hardie looks okay.

    Smiths over here make them in that style and sell them as smiths rounding hammers. I have an old 3lb lump hammer I might try to repurpose in that style, I guessing it might be a whole of a lot of hitting without a striker of a power hammer

    Those are great. Almost too pretty to use!

    That safe is really cool! How on earth did you move it! Mandrel was a steal also

    I know plenty of smiths here, just not many locally on IFI! Perhaps I should just point them in this direction

    Buying it in tins?
  14. Thief_Of_Navarre
    That's cool!

    I like how you make such a vast place sound so cosy. I feel isolated in the UK with only 70-80miles between IFI members :s
