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.

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