Forging a cut-off hardie
Forging a cut-off hardie
I forged a cut-off hardie a while back. I took some pictures along the way. I hope you enjoy.
I used an ax wedged into a stump as a cut-off for a long time, but it’s time for an upgrade.
I used an ax and sledge to cut the end off the jack hammer bit.
I forged the hardie section down some and used the hole as a mold to get a tight fit.
The jack hammer head started at about 5/16 of an inch. I…

Candlestick holder By an unknown smith, one of the favorite hand-forged pieces I own. Forged sockets, fire welded and a square rivet. --Greg

I’ve found myself wondering about digital copies of books. Their scans seem dusty and to smell of musk like walking through a damp, gray tomb of…

Bamboo Charcoal Making
Some hippie stuff from a long-haired country boy and scraggly pirate: Before I get into the pictorial I’d like to talk about the blacksmith and the environment.

Every day most everyone on the planet is…

Talk like a pirate day. And Bottle openers.
Ahoy! You may or may not be aware.. but we’re pirate people. Now I’m not for all the rapein’ an piligin’ we’re usually associated with. Ye be thinkin’ what be a pirate if ‘e ain’t robbin’ lasses of their booty an stealin’ everythin’ that ain’t tied down? Freedom.. well to me alas pirates were only moderately scurvier or doggier than those sanctioned sailin’ men. And they often had more rights, ‘ell

Land Lubber Cutlass
You can see the PriceSmith and Jolly Roger etch. Less visible is the subtable lightening etch that covers most of it’s large blade. The horseshoe probably came from my grandfathers ol’ horse RoyalBoy. A fine horse.
