Joseph Tinsley Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 First succesful spear head. it looks a little rough but that is ok to me because it was really just an experiment to see if i could do it. Stormcrows bush sword videos really inspired me. after watrching them this afternoon i immediatly set out to make a spearhead. and well here is a few hours labour. as always, questions and helpful comments and critisim welcome :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Glad to help inspire, especially given how many thousands of blacksmiths and knifemakers whose work I have perused for inspiration! Not bad for your first crack at it. I've never actually taken a jab at spearmaking (yes, that was a pun), though it's on my list of things to experiment with. One bit of advice would be to spread the butt-end of the socket more before rolling. To give you an idea of scale, on my bush sword handles, the preform before I roll the handle is around 2 1/2" across and the butt end is around 3 3/4" across.
