Gerald Boggs Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) I found this video by Hector Cole to be quite useful in learning to forge a Bodkin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SmEAqaFIwI Edited July 12, 2022 by Gerald Boggs <p>Gerald Boggs <a href="http://www.geraldboggs.com">www.geraldboggs.com</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Boggs Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) I made a bunch after watching it, but never did get around to doing anything but giving them away.

Brian Dougherty Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I was determined to get good at this when I first started blacksmithing.
