First forge work

mullet:
Looking good, Clint. I had to back off forge work for a little bit. I've still got issues with my shoulders and waiting for an MRI.

Hawkdancer:
Looking good!  I am likely too far up in years to get a forge, but may try to find a blade smith, blacksmith type person who is set up and willing to train me a bit!  Bad shoulders don't help much either!  But first, I got to get everything moved and my shop organized!

I did a little more work to them today.  I tapered the handles and curled them around.  I'm letting them soak in tung oil for a couple of days.  When I was finished forging that axle drift I quenched it in water.  I hit it with a file today and it skated across it.  I don't know what that steel is but it will harden.   






bjrogg:
Nice Clint. I’ve been waiting to see what you pull out of that forge. I’m pretty sure you will learn a lot in short order. I’m hoping to see you at Marshall next year and get you some scrap steel from our farm.

DC:
I'm impressed by how consistent the size is on the openers. I would find that difficult.
