  1. I started forging a cooper's driver today. I got the eye punched and drifted, the working end forged out, the struck end forged and shaped, and some rough filing on it.

    Next time I'm there, I'll do some more filing to get the ears symmetrical, and I'll need to flatten the working end and start filing in a groove because it'll be too difficult when it's hardened. I need to harden and temper it too. I can likely get all that done next time in addition to hanging a handle.

  2. Nouvelle source de fer puddlé pour la #forge !
    Une vieille chaîne marine trouvée dans le coin de St-Eustache, datant probablement du 19e.

  3. 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.

  8. Nathan Clough of Arms & Armor in Minnesota demonstrates one of the modern quick-acting case-hardening compounds based on borates and potassium nitrate. These work quickly but only penetrate the top 0.25 mm or so, traditional methods involving baking the steel or iron in a box of carbon-rich material can penetrate deeper. If you understand the chemistry of the new process let me know! youtube.com/watch?v=Ye4Czn9kr3w #swords #armsAndArmour #materialCulture #blacksmithing

  12. RE: sunny.garden/@dustin/116577113

    While doing the final drift, the handle of the last hammer I made broke. I guess it decided that it was no longer needed.

  17. I finished the hammer today. All I did was a final drift (making the eye better shaped), put my stamp on it, some light filing to take the corners off, and hardened and tempered it. I hung the handle, blackened it, and oiled it.

  22. I did basically everything except hardening and tempering a new hammer today. The hole I punched was super clean- I was happy about that. In the photo, you can see the steel with the hole punched. Next to it is the small bit of steel lost from punching. To the right of it is the punch I made last year that I used today.

    If I don't go finish it tomorrow, I'll go next Wednesday and can take some photos of the finished hammer.

  30. #PhotoOfTheDay is of a very large Ouroboros that I forged. I'd made several small ones and then I decided to attempt this much larger version (over a foot in diameter I think) which I then gave colors through spot heat treating of the steel. It hangs on a pillar in our backyard.

  35. I made a little test piece for what I'm calling a "wine glass stake". The plan is to drive it into the ground and put a stemmed wine glass on top. I'm happy with how it turned out. I eyeballed it, so I was happy when I got it home and a wine glass fit perfectly.

  40. And installed. They hold 1 5/8" bearings that act like rollers under the door which is too heavy for its track. I could have made these out of 2" stock, I think.
