copy thanks

nicely done!

I like your work. when the hammer falls upon the steel to produce a surface that catches one' s eye it's good to leave it imho here' s one example I have,,,

well poop,,, that was very convincing,,,,,,,, the wet weather is not speeding things up any,,,, go ahead,,,, tell me that's a good thing,,,, lol it's sitting outside,,,,maybe I'll bring it in the heated garage,,,, thanks for tempering my impatience,,,,o_O

if covered in any type of lubricant does that cull it? or do I just burn that off,

thanks, on my way!!!!

is that a ducks unlimited emblem? nice work!

waiting for the new clay I lined my forge with to dry,,,,,, if this is what the old timers did,,, you telling me they sat around and waited for it to air dry while customers with money are waiting!!!??? It's killing me to wait,,...

were do you go? what do you ask for? I have a logging cable /rigging supply store close to me. what do I tell them I'm looking for,,,, or what do I want to avoid. thanks

I agree with J on the oil. Teak oil is the bomb. Looks great, can be allowed to obtain different final finishes depending on how much you put on, tough and easily refurbished later on if needed. Nice work!

strong work Sir!!!

thanks for the kind words. raining here. might have to take it inside the shop to dry

here is the newest version,,,,, this looks better to me.

thank you both for your help. someone suggested I remix the clay with 50/50 clay/sand mixture. Says it will last longer. What say you?

I lined the bottom with clay. Please comment on the shape if it needs redoing, first time for me. Don't want to cure it before final shaping. Hope should I cure it? Just stay a chock fire and get to work,,,take hot coals from another coal forge and slow cure it? thanks

1080 steel, harvested the antler myself. need to learn how to make sheaths now.

finaly finished it. Manzanita burl handle. took some pieces of my old bandsaw blades and layered them to ge the steel.sorry for the bad pictures.
