Nice tomahawk!

Blacksmith work has always intrigued me. Logan Pearce makes some really cool knives out of common items such as railroad spikes, wrenches, bolts, horse shoes, rebar, etc. These knives are pieces of artwork.

Very nice! That's good work. I'm about to start blacksmithing. I have a small forge made from 2 soft fire bricks and last weekend I bought a 20" piece of rail road rail to shape into my first anvil.

I really like the rough straight from the forge texture, contrasted by the filework. Very nice piece.

CrazySanMan, thats OK for a beginning setup, check out oldworldanvils.com though look at the block anvil they sell its way better then track.

Tried my hand at blacksmithing with a friend. We built a forge out of an 18-wheeler brake drum but never got real good at working the fire. Even bought an old (and really beat up) 200 pound anvil.

Have to keep this club in mind for the future. Man that'd be sweet to get in to

You ever thought of having classes at your forge? I would be interested, and If you do have classes PM me the details.
