Forging Carver Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Nice work! What you said about the char handles feeling like rubber just happened to me! I oiled it and now it feels very grippy! I personally like it like that. Thank you for all your help Ethan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D yes, I will let you know! I would not want to miss out on such opportunity! I will have to do that under the press, so I must make tooling first.
