brickman Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Got a litlte work in tonight. only about an hour unfortunately, started making a simple tanto style knife (bottom) and drew out the handles on my drawing knife. both are WIP. Only got to starting to isolate the handle on the tanto style knife and next i'll be starting to shape it, probably saturday, and i think i drew it out too long so i will probably hot cut some of the tip down when i get to start working up on that.... these are my first knives. the bottom more for practice, the top is actually high carbon steel and i'll be working wiht the instructor in my blacksmithing class to do the bladework... not great, but something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wroughton Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Nice forging slippers! I guess if you get a little hot foot they're easy to get out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, couldn't help it. At least you weren't so excited you forgot to put clothes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I have been known to get out in the forge in my Pj's with my leather apron on. Of course I live way out in the woods so no neighbors to impress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
