Hammers, Tools and even some knives to end a great March.
March is almost reached the end and what a crazy month it has been here in the shop. So many projects and working on getting them done. Hammers were made, several people coming through to check out the shop and even managed to get a few knives ground out. Some things may be changing here in the short-term which will bring about a reduction in time in the shop, but it should set me up better for the long-term goals as well.
A ton of forging going on. Hammers, tools and more from the shop!
What a busy past month it has been in the shop. Didn't really forget about the blog, but with all the projects and people coming through, it has been tough to keep this up. Hopefully I can get everyone caught up on the past few weeks on all the tools forged, classes and more here in the shop.
Forged tools, Knife No. 99, 100 and beyond!
The summer heat is beginning to very slowly cool down, although the humidity and rain still in full effect, I've still managed to beat some steel and grind some knives.
The Blade Show prep and aftermath.
The weeks leading up to Blade Show have been nothing short of Chaotic! With NRA Show a few weeks back, then the annual trek to the 100th Running of the Indy 500, and then trying to get some knives done before Blade Show life has been a bit rushed.
Damascus is back on the bench. Knives, openers and more progress on the shop!
A few H&B Forge Hawks are there, plenty of patches and for those who like hot stuff both Booster and Smoked Pepper Blends. Even some of my wife's awesome chapstick!
