Forged this out from Aldos 1084 this morning. Lousy pictures but im happy with the progress. Blade is 6 inches long forged from 1in x.25 bar.

Ok I have a few questions for toughs of you using these. Im looking at building one but cant decide if I want to go with gas or electric heat. My plan is that if I go with gas ill build it much like a round forge on end with a PID controlled gas valve, pretty much the same if I go with electric...

I pounded this out on the back of an axe that I drove in to a round of wood with a hammer and file finished slightly. Its pretty crude but I got the heat treat right or so I think. I use an old BBQ and a shop vac set up to blow rather then suck, I used Oak wood and got the blade up to cherry...

OK folks, I have drawn a pattern that I cant stop looking at, I pinned it up on the wall and it just seems to sing to me.
