Thanks gents Charles, I hear what you're saying about the recasso and now that I look at it is is kind of goofy Billy, unfortunately its time. Its a gift for a friend and ran out. I drilled a couple bigger holes in the tang to reduce some weight and brother filled them with plugs and yes he did a good job fitting them. I think it look cool and is a very comfortable fit to my hand at least thanks for looking ! Cant wait to try another but no time to forge lately :-(

Another coil spring and mesquite collaboration with my wood working bro. Could use some more polishing but I am pretty happy with the shape and learned alot about grinding after comments on my last one - thanks for looking

Early fathers day present from my lovely lady. Going to try it soon!

And nice view! For friends and neighbors. Each opener more thoroughly tested than the other.

Nice bowl. Now the mrs. wants one, thanks! (Looks like fun to try)

Those giant desert centipedes are no joke. Scary and hard to kill !!

Super cool Mudman! Is that a brass rivet?

What grade stainless? I made a steak turner out of ss (dont know what type) but it seemed like mild steel to forge. Is it 450 as in yz450 or wr450, ? the only sensible choices....

Look good to me, nice job

Straightened a piece of coil spring to unwind after work

Like everyone says, bigger is better. That said my shop is 12’x12’ and its perfect for me working solo but Im 6’1” and rather lean. 2 is a crowd but doable. 3 is too much for my little space i want big shop and I cannot lie....

Looks real nice. I like the contrasts. Thanks for the cool pictures

Not tapered but I will try it. The pins are copper rod

Thanks fellas Latticino - appreciate the input. Not sure what you mean by distal taper in the tang. From top to bottom or taper lengthwise? Mr. slag - “highly figured leopard wood”. Brother makes frames and it was scrap. He keeps asking for more knives to handle

Colluded with my wood worker brother on this one. Coil spring quenched in oil and 2 hours in the toaster oven. Tang is too small but my bro did a good job making the handle comfortable. Fun to make we want to do more !

Awesome experiment! I finished my bending forks. Works as intended and fun to make. Welds seem good so I guess I'm a fabricator now :-) Need a hand held one

Good idea Neil. Will try that next and i like Daves socket idea.

Cut some stock to turn into bending jigs. Rectangle stock fits diagonal in my hardy hole. Not very good at cutting or welding so I will post pics of finished product in a couple days

I get rattlers and scorpions. Ive been stung twice and my dog got bit last year. $1300 to the vet but she is okay except the one fang scar on her nose

Thanks for sharing. Did they have a tail gate sale or swap meet? looks like fun and love the herron

Yes thanks Alexandr. My Wife makes me show her your posts too! I wanted to swing a hammer after work so I squared off a piece of 1/4” round copper. couldn't believe it took 20 minutes !! Fun to do

Good Friday Split cross and a 3/8” chisel from a coil spring for future project I saw some honey pot ants once when excavating a swimming pool. Didnt know we had them in AZ

Good job pepper! Better than most of my leafs after 2 years trying

Cool. I like the mouth. You should put a beak in it

Wow! what a monster
