Uh-huh Doug

Great looking job, Garry Doug
-
Great job on that one, Dave. It keeps me wanting to come back to it to have another look. Doug

Did you apply clay to create the hamons or are they what is referred to as auto hamons? As far as the handles look, I think that they're great. It looks like you tried to get a palm swell into both of them. Other than that, I think that I would have to pick them up to really evaluate the handles. Anyway, great job this early on. Doug
-
Very well done. Hamons can mess with you but it came out well on that blade. Doug
-
You're to be commended. Starting out with a double edged blade is a little bold. A lot to keep straight. The knife looks good but as you said you still have some more grinding to do on it. Just remember when grinding out the previous grinding marks, close enough is not close enough. Get out all of the previous marks before going on to the next higher grit. Doug

Nice looking job. I wish that we could get 9260 on this side of the pond without having to order it by the ton. Doug

Rhomboid Hunting Puukko with Sculpted Handle

Job well done! It sort of grows on you. Doug -
Woody, that tool you're describing sounds like it's a large set hammer. It's used to make sharp 90° bends in metal. Doug

The one in the 9th and 10th pictures from the top is outstanding! Makes me wish that my pockets were a little deeper. Doug

My latest hunter, an experiment with copper.

One question, why? Doug -
I just came across the documentary on wootz on Mike Loades channel on Youtube that Tim mentioned and I found it very interesting. However I came away wondering that to produce true wootz you had to come across the right iron ore supply. Doug

You can only work 4"-6" of steel at a time so building a multi burner forge just for forging is pretty much a waste of effort and materials. You might build a multi burner forge for heat treating but you'll be surprised what you can heat treat in a one burner forge. Doug

Moscow Hide and Fur has one caribou taxidermy set for one nickel shy of $400. I don't know if that solves any problems for you or not. Doug
