Chris Christenberry Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Ahhhhhh, cool, a 3-finger, right? 1 Chris www.chrischristenberry.com WHEW!!! If I could only know now what I "thought" I knew back then.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Blohm Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Yeah. It fits way better in the hand now that I got the finger grove forged out. With the finger groove it forced you to hold it in one position and not a very comfortable one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Christenberry Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I know you are fighting the clock, but hope you get a good picture before you send it off.

Jeremy Blohm Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 I will for sure. I'm going to get out to the shop right after the wife heads off to work at 6:30 am and I don't have much to do so I will get some good pictures for sure.

Jeremy Blohm Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 There was a bit more grinding than I thought and there is a few deep hammer marks from the power hammer. I forged most of the bevels with the power hammer and finished at the anvil and I guess they were deeper than I thought and I didn't get them out.i have a little hand sanding to do and I'm going to do an etch in coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Blohm Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 I could have made it better. It was the first time drawing out the bevels with the new hammer and I've only done it one other time with my old hammer. Probably should have stuck to hand hammer. This rail road track is my new favorite steel though. Easy to heat treat easy to forge and gets really hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
