I watched this video earlier also. It turned out good. I have a HF ball pein that I use occasionally. I didn't do nearly as much to it as Alec Steele did to the one in the video. But it's not a bad hammer and was cheap

Hello Jack. I'm in north central Texas, close to Oklahoma. My husband used to work for a fracking containment outfit and he was sent to San Angelo a few times. I don't know of any clubs near you though. Welcome to the gang. What di you like to forge? Frosty will ask you, but I'll beat him to it. Got any pictures? We love them you know

I think 1.0 looks pretty darn good, John. Please post #2 when it is done. If I can get a critter sitter, I'd like to come out your way this summer. I haven't been any further away than Dallas in nearly 2 years. I'm a homebody, but I do like to go on a trip occasionally and that would be a perfect destination

I'll be checking shortly

Sorry Chris! Buffalo bone would be nice to have a supply of. I like the look of rams horn also

Leaf spring is what I've been using for knife steel practice. But what I have done doesn't look nearly as good as your sword does.

Well, the yeast supply was replenished and there was plenty of toilet paper at the store today. And a big crowd shopping. The nursing home my mom is in did implement using a code to get in because of the virus. Those are about the only things I found kind of different.

Wow, really nice. What steel did you use?

LOL! Yeah, there would be no shortage for sure. Hmm I wonder if you could use goat droppings? I'd never run out of handle material

My heart aches for you friend. The prayers will continue on

She is amazing to watch and an awesome teacher

I've heard of knife handles made from stabilized horse manure, so I reckon, the sky really is the limit

alexandr, the quality and amount of work you do makes me feel lazy! Gorgeous as per usual. John, that's a lovely flower. I hope I can get out to an IronMunchers meeting sometime soon. I'd love to meet you in person and forge with you guys. Jennifer, I couldn't view the video either, but I will as soon as I can.

That may be interesting to look at. Thanks Thomas

I went to buy some yeast to make doughnuts with and nearly every bit of it was gone. The worker said people were buying it up. He managed to find me one though. And the store that is normally very crowded felt almost deserted there were so few people

Nice work blacksmith-450 and Frazer. The scissors are cool. It doesn't look like it'd take much to even out the handles. I've given away a bunch of stuff and I've got piles of stuff still sitting. It is a good idea to get your work out there to be seen. I wanted to make spoons and forks and I just made some and my husband put them in his lunch bag. The guys at work started wanting them after seeing his and now others want them. I guess I'm a one trick pony right now but I ought to get real good at them. I appreciate all the business advice. It is not easy to figure out for sure.

She flew. I forgot to mention that

My daughter traveled to Las Vegas last week for a 3 day trip. I was surprised she said they didn't push any special precautions because of the coronavirus. Only heightened security on arrival because one of the presidential candidates was going to be in the area somewhere.

Thanks for all the votes of definitely ask about the anvil guys. My husband has been telling me the same thing

Both the knife and sheath are exquisite. Very beautifully done

Not to mention high pitched screaming little girls are capable of...

We will continue prayers for you and your family Robert and Sheila.

Thanks Jennifer. My friend has an order for cutlery for her husband and her for their anniversary. Since she's my friend and they have supplied me with material before, I wasn't sure about even charging her. But she said she understands the work I put into it and wants to pay me for it and for whatever I quote. This other order is for a 20 piece set. I'm not sure what to do with that one quite yet even after much contemplation.

Oh wow. I guess it wouldn't hurt to see then. I also thought about what else they may have because it's a pretty good sized shop

Yeah, you're right. It's just amazing to see one sitting out like that. They are a rare commodity in these parts
