Forged out one of my #railspike #axes today. Planning, preparation and precise hammer blows make for a beautiful piece. Stay patient and keep forging. #thepxsmith #forgedinfire #knifeordeath #greatkilnsgroovyprices #kilnfrog #kilnacademy #heatbeatrepeat #forgedwithfire #hammerandanvil #kilnenvy #heattreatoven #blacksmithlove (at Iron Mountain Metal Craft)

Quick little test forging of a #railroadspike #herbchopper during my lessons at #ironmountainmetalcraft I like to #draw or #sketch out everything I make. Even a rough idea with a soapstone makes a huge difference in outcome. This kicks off the problem solving mindset right from the start.

I find that when I start a project out with at least a quick sketch I get much better results. Planning is important for the success of any project. Sketches are there to guide you and can be used to determine where a project got off course for a deeper learning experience.
