osage outlaw:
I hope he comes back and shares some knowledge on the new forge section. I learned a lot from his posts.

Clint, I emailed him about "At the Forge"...He said he would check back in and see what's going on...

osage outlaw:
Good deal! I hope you post some of your work also. Now that we have a dedicated space I would love to see some new projects posted. I saw one of KHalversons railroad spike hatchets in person. I want to try to copy it.
burchett.donald:
Clint, I was fortunate enough to have one of his hawk heads from a spike...Here's the link http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,44219.0.html I gave it to friend and wish I had another one...I do make knives at times but I don't forge, I use 154cm stock...

First off Kevin thank you for a build-a-long that even a stone carver can do. I have some pallet wood that stone came in from over seas. What they call pallet/crate wood, is precious to us. Can't get anymore though, customs has it incinerated now because of invasive species. I also have some old files an rasps from Italy, Germany & the US. that I use on stone. We re-sharpen the teeth by dipping in acid and neutralize in baking soda. Some now are too far gone, but I can't seem to let them go because they were handed down from my stone carving mentor. Now I have a avenue to put them back in use, Thank you.
A couple question on the brass pins. 1) Do you score/scratch the brass to give the epoxy something to grab a hold of ? 2) How much clearance in the scale holes for the brass pins ?
