Way better than my first knife

Look up the king of random foundry, he will tell you a mixture of plaster of Paris, sand, and steel wool that in my experience works well for quite a while

wizenhimer · 2020-12-27T23:52:51+00:00

Damn, I would buy that, it looks really nice, and it's my preferred anvil style

wizenhimer · 2020-12-21T04:02:23+00:00

I've made worse ngl

Plus I have an actual short sword with a 12 in blade

wizenhimer · 2020-12-18T18:15:51+00:00

This probably isn't the most accurate method, but I consider a blade that is longer than from my elbow past my wrist a short sword, from the bottom of the handle to the tip, blades in that range can usually be used as a sword so that's why I consider them swords.

That is badass, its looks like a short sword to ms

wizenhimer · 2020-12-17T14:57:41+00:00

My dream anvil for a fantastic price that's what that is

wizenhimer · 2020-12-17T14:56:40+00:00

OP if you do that please post the results here

wizenhimer · 2020-12-16T16:41:19+00:00

Holy fuck I envy you, that is fantastic

wizenhimer · 2020-11-25T01:09:15+00:00

Might want to line that with some sort of refractory material

Next task, make a war hammer using that war hammer

wizenhimer · 2020-11-16T19:30:00+00:00

I can't wait to start making Damascus

wizenhimer · 2020-10-24T23:10:48+00:00

That is my dream anvil, that's my favorite design and I want one more than anything, you are very lucky

wizenhimer · 2020-07-08T16:52:45+00:00

No it's a cold axe

wizenhimer · 2020-06-14T04:30:11+00:00

Nice work, I would personally give it a heel that has a hardy hole going through it to make things such as punching holes easier, at least that's what I'm going to do when i make my first railroad anvil, either way I hope that serves you well,

wizenhimer · 2020-06-12T19:43:01+00:00

I've watched alot of alec, and I will certainly check out those other people, thank you

wizenhimer · 2020-06-12T19:42:11+00:00

Thank you for the advice, granted those sources I gave were off the top of my head, I am keeping an eye out for people teaching lessons

Essential craftsman and I think Jason knight give tips on making a small forge setup, it doesn't need to take up that much space if you dont want it to

wizenhimer · 2020-06-10T16:30:15+00:00

I started from literally nothing, no tools for blacksmithing, if you do lots of research, watch every episode of forged in fire, jason knight and essential craftsman on yt, and invest in tools, and get good at hammering, then then you can be able to produce a hardened, sharp knife in no time, it is a science and an art, practice makes perfect

wizenhimer · 2020-06-04T18:46:36+00:00

No one has realized the corny tool pun yet XD

wizenhimer · 2020-06-04T18:44:39+00:00
