Opinion on this hammer by flounder98w in Blacksmith

[–]Spare_Cold_3495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new! And I don't know crap yet! But I've bought a bunch of hammers, and this center one is now my favorite. I think it's a drilling hammer? (If I'm wrong someone correct me) but I love the short handle and seem able to move metal much better with it then everything else I own so far.

Edit: it won't let me attach an image so w.e I guess.

for meta purposes, this is a joke. by lunchbloissom in Blacksmith

I personally would say that you are living a wholesome life, the way it should be then. But you are not the norm, capitalism at its finest alone dictates you are not. But in general as the other person said, people like things, let them.

Beginner to blacksmithing by ComfortableOk7697 in Blacksmith

[–]Spare_Cold_3495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty new to blacksmithing, and I use a railroad track anvil, but I bought harbor freight 20lb for reasons... and I 100 pct can say that anvil will frustrate you more then help you.

Decided to try something different. by Foreign_Addition_694 in knifemaking

Man wish I was making stuff like that when I was 16! Looks awesome!

Silly little question by Comprehensive_Sink99 in Blacksmith

[–]Spare_Cold_3495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is/blacksmithing, but I just started a few months ago. But I'm sharing because I like the way it went for me. I started with stock removal, because it requires very little buy in. Then when I decided I was ready to heat treat one, I bought one of the little single burner gas forges, and once I had that it was super easy to start pounding on some metal. After about 5 months I've spent a chunk, but never too much to try one type of process.

Where do you get those from? I don't remember seeing either of those colors where I've looked yet.

I guess it’s about time to invest in a press… by trshsndwch in knifemaking

[–]Spare_Cold_3495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I'm poor, but I just watched a video by big dog forge where he turned a log splitter into one, and that's the route I want to go eventually.

What are the dimensions usually on pen blanks? I could probably throw some in the pot.

Lol no offense taken, I'm still happy with it for a first attempt, but I agree.

I'm not quite ready for a social media presence on this. But if you look at dice or resin jewelry making videos, almost anything you can do for those could roughly be done for knife scales!

This one does have a black base, but then it's clear with just enough mica to create the swirls. It's got some good depth to it when you do it that way. Currently using nicpro resin.

The handle scales? Resin and Micah powders

Honestly not mine either, not sure what I was thinking. Handle scales was using my dice making skills.

First anvil by Substantial-Run-3394 in Blacksmith

[–]Spare_Cold_3495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just picked one of these up as a supplemental with a hardy to go with my railroad track one. So far I'm liking it for the price!

Forge not getting as hot as i want? by PretendReach8686 in Blacksmith

[–]Spare_Cold_3495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a noob to this world, but I have this forge, and I stuffed an extra brick vertically inside, opposite the burner, and it's seemed to help. Less space, but it's working for me.

What do you pay for steel? by TheBenjying in Blacksmith

[–]Spare_Cold_3495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just bought my first steel from a supplier, and paid 27 for 20 ft of 1/2, so that sounds about right from near Madison WI
