Kinda primitively forged broadpoint
artisancraftstime:
So I forged this guy out of a really old timber framing nail that i found in the mountains. I didn't have a forge ready out here, so I harvested a bunch of charcoal from a fire that came through two years ago, and tossed it into a little camping wood stove. I soaked a little shoot of bamboo in water and used it to blow on the fire. It actually got plenty hot but the hot zone was very small. It wasforged on a 250lb hay budden. The steel hardened and took a razor edge. The weight is either 9g or 11g, can't recall. Its for the first arrow I have made that will be used on my first hunt. I plan on hunting turkey, so I can make more arrows and not use these fakefeathers any longer. Ill be posting pictures of the arrow and bow soon.

Nice job! I've been forging for about 30 years. my first forge was a BBQ grill, oak and the ex's hairdryer and a piece of I-beam. Maybe that's why she's an ex?
