What Alan said... and clean the dust off! -
Dave,
I was just looking over that spectacular single edged viking sword and a question popped in my head....
What is your technique for making fullers?
To me that is real magic right there. The lines are so crisp. How in Merlin's beard do you do it?

Thanks bud.
Check out these links to posts I've made that explain how I do it.
This is a really old post (from 2012) so the images are broken. Here's a link to the images.

Man, Congratulations! I am starting to think that maybe, just maybe this site should turn into a guild of some type. I know I wouldn't be half the bladesmith I am now without it! Keep on keepin' on Gabe! -Gabriel

Now that my murderous, backstabbing, organ has been dealt with, I hope to at least start posting more on here. Sorry I been away! Anybody miss me? -with every bullet so far I guess -Gabriel

I won't be able to make it this year.... But I should be able to next! to much family stuff going on. -Gabriel

btw... don't worry about "fluffy". I knew him, he "taught" me bladesmithing. He is all bark than bite. Besides, he tries anything with anyone on this forum just let me know. I will handle it. I know things he don't want me telling -Gabriel

Thank you!

Eric, Thank you so much for posting this! I have been trying to do this, and just about gave up because I was doing this in a vacuum. Again Thank you, Gabriel

Beautiful! one thing I can't wrap my head around is how the hilt is put on the blade. Could you please explain this? (I am working on my own Kreigmesser so any way you could help is greatly appreciated!) -Gabriel

Did you hear that big thud? That was my jaw hitting the floor. I think it triggered an earthquake in China. We have no words in the English to describe this. -G

Wow! Just wow John! Now you are really inspiring me to up my forge game.
