Cdworks Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Made out of a lawn mower blade. This was a first attempt. I gotta get a bigger handle and clean it up some more. I used my coal forge and got it welded up EASILY. I was ecstatic when I was cleaning it up and there were no weld lines or cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccustomknives Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It was a great learning experience, wasn't it. I've got some old mower blades, might have to give it a try too. <_< What did you use for the handle, the pics perspective makes it look big like a ball bat. :o It has a nice old patina.

Cdworks Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 It was an old hammer handle I had replaced recently.It needs about another 6" of handle to be comfortable for me. Yeah It was great fun the next one I will do a little different I will also have a better forge I'm building up a fire pot and have to add a table to it and I will have a sweet little coal forge. If you are around North AL let me know! We can get together and beat on some things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcc Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Looks a lot like the first one I made. It does feel good doesn't it. Looks good. I love to use mower blades too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdworks Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well I was happy to get a smooth weld more than anything! I have been having problems in my gas forge getting welds but I came out all right with the coal forge. I did a basket twist right after i fired it up and welded the ends up. It felt good!
