My Viking Broad Seax is composited of multiple bars. To maintain pattern flow, I forge a reverse tip. This involves cutting the tip in reverse and then forging it back which allows the pattern to flow along the cutting edge.

And managed to make the second set after finishing up the yardwork!

Today in the smithy. Pretty graunch trivet, which next time I'll make out of 3/8" (10mm) instead 1/2" (12.5mm) stock. It's a bit chonky.
The brackets are for a heavy rolling door. The angled one for the front, the other at the read. Together with the second pair not yet made they will support axles and small bearings to carry the door's weight.
What's most pleasant about these pieces is that forge welding is now firmly in my repertoire. All the welds hit the first time!

The Viking Broad Seax was making good progress but the welds failed. Let's do the forge welding all over again.

When making knives or swords, a lot of time is spent in front of the grinder which generates a lot of dust which not only spreads around your shop but can also go into your nostrils.
In this video, I start making a dust collector for metal dust which is more challenging than just wood dust. Follow along!

Preparing Kebab Barg requires a proper knife. So, let's forge one! This is going to be a mighty blade constructed from both high-carbon steel and wrought iron to give it an authentic feel. Enjoy.

@dustin Ask and you shall receive. Plain little chisels out of a coil spring from a friend's VW Golf. Not much to look at but quick to put together and easy to heat treat.
Also hammered out this little collating vise for another project.

Decorative. After the hinge straps on the door to Sam Yellin's office. Didn't have appropriate curved chisels or round punches, or straight chisel of appropriate bluntness, so I forged those up as well. A good morning.

i ended up ordering two different sized handles that both might fit the smaller hammer. i can use the other one for either another small-to-medium sized straight pein hammer, some other top tool like a slitting chisel or flatter, or something fun like an experimental cooper's driver.

Listen to the sounds of a modern blacksmith shop. Enjoy the visuals and the sonic atmosphere. It's hard to convey the vibe of a blacksmith shop and here is my attempt.

i went to an architectural salvage/reuse place over the weekend. there were a bunch of tools including a few of what appear to be blacksmith made punches and chisels.
i picked up two reasonably priced ball pein hammers. the larger is in ok condition, but the smaller one's ball pein needs to be dressed- it's pretty marred up, but not so much that it's not easily repairable with a file or grinder.
you can see on the larger one that its handle has been hit a few times. i'll probably order a new handle and use this one until it breaks or i get tired of the varnished handle. the smaller one probably needs a new handle too, but i'm not sure which handle to get for it. i'll have to do some digging to find a suitable handle.

3000F heat convert old wagon tyres into a formidable crucible steel knife! This is a truly awesome video. While I might be biased, I really think you will enjoy this video!

A sword needs a guard and a pommel. The Chronoblade sword receives them in this video! Follow along as I continue completing this sword.

Some omega symbols I made in forging, I think they turned out well considering I mangled 3 peices before getting it right
