mbaird Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Well, here it is, my first official forged piece, from 1/2" mild steel round stock. I'd done some skewers and hooks, but those didn't really count! The dog's head (adapted from the wolf head blueprint) on the end of the letter opener didn't come out perfectly, but I think it's OK for my second try. Comments are loved! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I think that's a fine job. The more that you forge, the better that the items will look. It's called practice. But your letter opener is real nice. Now, get back to the forge and make some more new items and good luck. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
