job Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Have to say evening because that is what it is in west aust at the moment. You may have to bear with me a bit here as i am not a whiz with this infernal machine as yet If i cant get it hot and hit it I am mostly lost . Started making blades about 40 years back by stock removal in the scrub in the back hills of New Guinea (long story)then when i got back home again I was introduced to a forge and anvil and have not looked back since. Therefore I dont class myself as a blacksmith . More of a bladesmith Now I am being forced to make other dinky stuff as well by all and sundry who seem to reckon that when you retire you have all the time in the world Darn i never worked this hard when I was earning a living . Thats me in a nutshell .Thank you for the opportunity to join you in any way I may be of use J O B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Smith Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Actually, it's already been done.. A tomahawk made from a dog (RR) spike, in the BAWA section, under "dog spikes /railroad spikes". Not much, but its a start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
