The wife got me a propane fired forge for Father's Day.
The only steel I had on hand was some 3/4" round mystery metal. I was anxious to get started on something, so I chopped off a piece and started hammering.
This is after the blade was roughed out. The blade turned out to be about 7", so I cut an inch off and reshaped it.
We cut down a Cedar tree last spring and I cut the handles out of one of the branches.
Now I just need to see if I can put an edge on it.
I ordered some 1080, 5160 and 52100, so I'll have something better to try on the next one.
