[CRAFT] Art in Metal

Looks sharp.

Looks sharp.

 I see what you did there.  Heh.  Heh heh.

  EDIT:  Ahahahahahahahahaha...  Silly Shainy thought you said "Looking sharp", not "Looks sharp".  I seely.  I very seely.

[The Skarzs]

Thanks, you guys!

And you're correct. I would not really trust you with a thirteen-inch long, twenty-four ounce hair splitter.

[Faiyloe]

That is scary... and I don't like handling stake knives... XD ... What I don't like blood. even the thought of potential blood makes me sick.    Still cool though Mr. Spock keep it up... While I sit on the other side of the screen worrying that you will cut your finger off.

[Jukka the Sling]

Wow, that's awesome!

While I sit on the other side of the screen worrying that you will cut your finger off.

Aww, how sweet of you!

[Luftwaffles]

You have done some terrific stuff, dude.

And the first knife you said it was rather bad, I have to disagree, it looks nice to me

As for my favorite piece: It would have to be that WIP dagger shown on the first page. It's been so long since I saw any (let alone knowing the blacksmith)

Thanks! I've gotten a bit used to blood. . . do you think that's a problem?

*Holds knife warningly at Jukka.*
I appreciate your concern, Faiy.

Thank you very much, Sierra! While the first knife might look nice in the picture, I could snap it with my bare hands: that should tell ya something about its construction.
And the work in progress is still just that; I haven't been able to work on it much.

[Luftwaffles]

You're more than welcome!

Well, even if the knife is a little blunt, I still like it a lot

[MeadowR]

Great work on these. I know little about blacksmithery myself so this is really interesting to see.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Do you think you'll be working with bronze anytime soon?

I'm glad you find it so.

I would really like to do some bronze forging, and I'm sure I will eventually, but I just don't have any to work with. Bronze has its own technicalities for forging, so it will prove interesting when I do try my hand at it.

[The Skarzs]

As the title change suggests, I am elated. I mean, I am so excited I was literally singing out loud not long ago.
Why? Well, so far nearly all the projects you see on this topic have been made at a monthly conference I go to (others were made at classes, and were tossed together at home).
But at 12:37 PM today, I got a forge at my own house!! A smith I know was very kind and gave me a Venturi burner (it's a propane burner), offering that, if it worked, I would pay him next time I saw him. I got to test it today, and it works AWESOME!
. . . So well, in fact, that the firebrick I was using as the forge walls melted. . . Yeah, I had lava. It was rather squishy, actually. O_o
Anyways, I'm just really happy that I got to do some forging at home; I'll need to get better brick, so until then I won't be able to do forging, but I'll be satisfied for a while now.

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Awesome Skarz! Make something epic with it!

[The Skarzs]

I already made something, actually. XD

I already made something, actually. XD

What is it?
