I broke my shoulder in Sept. of last year and finally I am able to do a little forging again. Here are some pics of what I have done since early June.

All comments are welcome.

I like the knives but I LOVE the sheaths. Very nice work...

I'd call that a darn good comeback. Excellent work!

I hear ya Mike. I broke my wrist this time last yr and it took 6 months to regain the strength in it. Sure did help to get more coordinated :-) , those jarring hits were murder!

Maybe I should break my shoulder to if it would help me do work that nice!

Thanks guys.
Doug, don't break anything except bad habits. I had to go back to the basics. To gain back some strength and work on my hammer grip "Hoffi style", I would lift a 2# hammer while watching TV at night. I tried hitting a piece of wood , but the "feel " was wrong so I used some hot mild steel. Look at each hammer strike. In the beginning, 5 minutes was all I could do. Bruce is right about a bad hit, it will get your attention quickly!
