Alan Longmire 3,678 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Nice one, Adriaan! I see you've mastered Jim's method of eye welding, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Troy Christianson 3 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 A illustration of smithing mastery! An ax any Viking would be proud to carry. Maybe our Vikings could use a few next year, then our super bowl drought would be over Troy Allen Christianson is NOT a "Licensed Bladesmith" so you may treat his posts with the contempt they deserve.

Adriaan Gerber 2 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks guys, I appreciate it Nice one, Adriaan! I see you've mastered Jim's method of eye welding, too. Alan, unfortunately this one is a punched eye. I just had this figured out and now you guys are doing this new "welding" thing..

Alan Longmire 3,678 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hm... That line across the side of the eye in the last pic looked like a weld seam to me. Maybe I should schedule that optometrist appointment I got a card about a few weeks ago... Link to post Share on other sites
Scott A. Roush 20 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 very cool... looks like a real user. Makes me wanna make an axe. Stick to punched eyes for sanity purposes. I just did my first wrapped eye with welded bit after watching Butch Sheely at a hammer-in make it look easy as pie. It ain't. But my welding has improved since then too. http://www.bigrockforge.com Link to post Share on other sites
