I hand forged a Viking Seax from an old tool steel file I had. Simple design. No frills. It'll make a good stabber, and its pretty slicy! Not a work of art by any means.
I also made this one. My belt grinder is dying. This was done with basic tools. An angle grinder and sand paper. Not the best knife Ive made, but I like it. Feels good in the hand.
Well the next project is underway. The Railroad Spike will be the handle. Then I will forge weld in a piece of Carbon steel where the “slice” has been made. This one may take some time to finish. Wish me luck.
Love to watch the hummingbirds at our cabin in the woods. Had trouble with the mob of hummingbirds emptying my Quart size feeders between visits. Empty feeders they leave. Came up with this idea to convert a gallon poultry feeder into a hummingbird feeder using a Lowes 5 gallon bucket lid worked over a bit with the dremel and purchasing some replacement 'flowers' for hummingbird feeders.
Bet that gets mobbed! Nice work!
I’ve been building a cattle working alley for a neighbor. Started it last Friday evening and worked on it most of the weekend. It’s coming together nice. 16 feet long. Both walls are adjustable at the top. Bottom is fixed at 18” wide. Predominately made of 2”x2” sq tubing 11ga wall. Sheet metal is 12ga. There will me a sliding gate on the back. Shop looks like a tornado came through.
Beautiful work fabbing that up....as usual.
Great work!
How much does that thing weigh, how will you load it presumably onto a trailer, and how big is your shop??
