Willb2862 Report post Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the warm welcome all! I have dabbled in blade smithing, and find it should be in a class all its own! I enjoy it, and have made some functional knives and a few declarative pieces. Mostly I make fuctional items such as hooks, tools, hard to find/obsolete parts, knobs and handles for my wood projects, ect. Im slowly falling down the blade smithing rabbit hole! Im currently between shops, hope to build a new shop in the spring. Half woodworking/leather, half blacksmithing/metal work. One the forge is burning once again, I'll be sure to post some pics. I will try to dig up some pics of old stuff in the interim. Edited November 2, 2018 by Willb2862 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
