Thanks for the compliments gents!

Thanks frosty I appreciate the information!

Thanks for the compliments! I really like the antler also. I'm kinda partial to antler and bone.

Very nice looks like you have a good chance with that one.

Well this is my first try at a knapper steel knife. I think it is really cool! I can't wait to try another. Any critiques are welcomed.

Very nice work!

Very nice a clean! Great job!

Very nice!

Thanks frosty!

Thanks for the input and the compliments. It is tig welded on the back side. I wanted to collar it but they did not want that look, go figure.

Thanks for the input and I agree but I was making these match the customers drawing, I made several suggestions as I don't like the negative space in the center either, and made several suggestions none of which they would budge on so as they say the customer is always right!

It will be in the San Diego air port

So I have finally received my first professional blacksmithing gig. The company I work for decided to subcontract a job to me. They wanted me to make a security door, but it's not a usable security door it's just cosmetic, it's going in a store front in a airport. Well enough of the jibber jabber. Here are some pics, any and all critiques are welcome, but remember this is not my design. I just followed their prints.

Thankyou for the information, and the link!

Greetings everyone! I was wondering if anyone had info on sisco anvils. First ill tell u what I do know, I bought a 211 pounder today. The weight is stamped on the side as with the sisco marking. I can tell by rebound and sound this is a fairly decent anvil. Now what I don't know is, if it has a welded steel face plate or if it is indeed a solid one piece unit. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Nice looking set up! Good job!

Nice! Great job and great thinking!

Thanks for your time and reply. Looks like this is something I will have to do some digging into.

I was wondering if any of you know how, or what to use to dye antler or bone?

This is my newest knife. I am very pleased with the way this one turned out. I think I am finally getting a little bit of a handle on this knife making thing. The blade is forged 0-1 tool steel, stainless end caps, and elk antler handle. Any and all comments and critiqueing is welcomed. Thanks for looking.

I agree with the above. Even doing a 3g test weld you leave a 1/16 gap.

Here are the steps for forging a crane. This example is forged from 3/16x 1/2" material.

Awsome "how to"! I have one question how big is the radius on your fuller for the wing?

D__m lost the post. Anyhow PW used multi plates on early ones one piece on later ones(From AIA)"plates are best quality tool steel" Age would be by the way the logo was stamped in(in blocks)If ya post a pic of the logo we might get ya a block date.
Ken.

Well here it is i couldnt get a picture for you but hopefully I can describe the details the pictures I took did not show anything anyways. So here it goes at the top of the anvil and towards the horn It says Peter, under that it says Wright, now under that its hard to make out but it appears to say England, then under that in a circle it says solid wrought, andunder that are the weight stamps which are 1 2 22 which from my understanding would be 190 lbs. Also on the foot under the horn is the number seven on the right side and number seven on the left side which seems to be the same size number stamp as the weight stamps. Well I hope all the info can tell you something. Thanks for the reply.

I was just wondering if anyone on here knows or can tell me what type of tool steel they used on peter wright anvils for the welded on plate and if there are some give aways as to the general date of production of said anvil. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys I appreciate all the nice remarks
