nc_cooter Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited July 29, 2008 by nc_cooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I like the knives but I LOVE the sheaths. Very nice work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnr Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'd call that a darn good comeback. Excellent work! Finnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucegodlesky Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug C Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Maybe I should break my shoulder to if it would help me do work that nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_cooter Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
