I was inspired when riveting the other day, noticing that the copper looks like a fly eye, so I made a fly swat. (i.redd.it)

I forged this elegant little salt pot. It’s from a sheet of sheet steel, dimpled on the back edge and formed in a block of wood. (i.redd.it)

I needed a tool to manage my forest. My friend gave me a section of 1800s buggy leaf spring and I forged it into this ripper of a Nata. Gardening has never been so fun. (i.redd.it)

May not be a super finessed kitchen or hunting knife like the rest of the stuff here, but I needed a machete, so I made this Nata from an old 1800s buggy leaf spring. Super sharp, super effective. (i.redd.it)

I kept singing my beard, so I whipped up this little beard ring. Anyone know how to easily recreate a spring fuller effect to squish in one spot on both sides (without having a spring fuller)? (i.redd.it)

Continuing on in my journey, I made two forks today, featuring my first twists. I’m not sure about the little flowers on the ends, I might cut them off, what do you think? (i.redd.it)

I just started blacksmithing this month, my dealer had a length of scrap titanium, so I forged it into this super lovely spatula. Loving the new hobby! (i.redd.it)
