From thought to fire in steel
 

Pantyfanatic has been after me for a year now to start this thread,so we will see how it goes. For those that don't know me I've been blacksmithing for over 10 yrs making what some say are prettys ,and sharp and pointies..The first 2pics are where it all starts.

This last summer we went to S Dakota to the Crazy Horse monument.

Lord Snow you might like these.

I am seriously crazy for iron. The candle holders are so beautiful. Sexiest thread ever.

The candle holders are so beautiful.

Thank you


Sexiest thread ever


I don't know about that I've seen pics of you!

I keep trying to get other people to build me a forge, but no one is willing to. LOL. Not sure if it's because of cost or if it's because they don't trust me with hammers, fire, and subsequently............make sharp, pointy objects.

I do like the look of those axes though. Especially the twisted shaft.

Lord Snow, have you thought of flint and bone? No fire but the coolest of knives and axes. Commercial black glass does wonders too.

Workmanship is fantastic jay-t. Thank you for sharing your work with us. That Indian shield is amazing. Loved it all.

Forgot to mention, great stuff jay-t. I hope you can't hear the envy in my typing. LOL

Pretties, indeed.

Jay-T i have to agree with everyone who posted before me..... great stuff and i too love the candle holders!!

Thinking back to my childhood, growing up watching westerns with my Dad, (or 'cowboys' as he would say), the blacksmith was always a big muscular hunk of a guy.... usually sweaty and just plain sexy!! mmmmmm.... is that you too Jay-T? ;) :D




Glad you kept after him to post this PF. :)

Oldfart, it's kind of hard to use flint, bone, and obsidian for stage combat weapons.

Not at all LS, it just lacks the clash and clang.

Kind of the point though really. Impressive looking moves with the unmistakable ring of steel.
