I've been really wanting to getinto the shop since returning from BLADE, but it has just been to dang hot. So, I got smart and decided to hit the shop early this morning. Around midnight I went to Wal Mart to pick up a cheap box fan and some air filters to rig up a box fan air cleaner then hit the shop around 0130.
Using my two brick forge, I pounded a new blade (my third forges blade) and then put it to the side to cool down. I had my second forges blade that I had hammered out a couple of months ago prior to my trip over to Ft. Polk. It is the same blade design as the one I hammered out last night, so I got to work on it. I really need to pick up a set of tongs so that I can forge out the tang as well.
Here are a few pics of me in the shop last night. Please excuse the poor quality, I forgot my camera at the apartment and had to use my phone.
My two brick forge I built a couple of months ago. I have a new forge I picked up in Atlanta, but I still need a couple of fittings for it before I can get it running.
Here are a couple of pics of the rough ground blade.
