April 14, 20179 yr 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

April 15, 20179 yr 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.
