WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I sure wish I was young again and could hammer like that for 10:27 minutes without stopping, in the cold. I just wish I had the ambition to start that project,,,,without the power hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it! and the finished article shows what the fuss is all about. looks wonderful :) Thank you beth I am really motivated to keep up my work since so many people seem to enjoy what I do. When I can already pass on that very little knowledge and experience I gathered in the year I am forging yet to people that are keen to learn and interested in the craft it really fills me with joy.
