Mitch

very nice!

Thanks Guys! :D

great detail on the handle and the way it conects to the shovel as well I like the split for more support

Great work!! I really like it.

OUTSTANDING!!

VERY impressive piece overall. Can't compliment just the handle because the splitwork pan attachment is so cool, and then there's the transitions to hanger and beautifully tapered shaft.

I love the split end design.....I'm thinking about using it on the piece I'm working on now! It looks much more secure! Thanks for posting!

Thanks Guys!
I have been doing the split end attachment on shovels for several years.
It is strait forward but if anyone has a question about the twist or the shovel blade attachment don't hesitate to ask.

Blackwater,

Great job. Do you swage out ( hand forge) the shovel blanks or use a press? Any pics on that tooling would be greatly appreciated.

I have a die that I made.
I will take pictures and post.

Very nice shovel. I like the way it is attached. Waiting for photos of the dies.

Can you give an explination of how the handle was forged?
