A little different projects!!!
 

I know its not normal for this site but I figured I might show you guys some of the stuff I've been hand forging and selling to the local community. Seems like theres alot more intrest in people hand forging art now adays. Well enough of me running my mouth onward with the pictures.

Well let me know what you guys think!
If anyone is interested just let me know.

Cool stuff....heating metal in a forge and mashing on it with a hammer
is primal man stuff. My grandpa was a blacksmith and welder and used to let us heat up stuff in his forge as little kids (6-7 year old!!) and whack on the red hot metal with hammers on the anvil.

highlux- thanks man yeah it is very primal but is a very good stress reliever lol. I can't seem to get away from welding, hammers, and steel haha. Right now I have a local college machine shop making me another new hammer head out of some of the hardest tooling steel they have, I think its d2 or s7 not sure though. I had a friend design it on solidworks and its will be a heavy persuading hammer lol.

People always willing to part with money for things they can`t make.

Keep up the good work!!!

thanks alot
